 PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors" and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. In this prospectus, we refer to MFC Development Corp. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Worldwide Excellence, Inc. as "our company," "we," "us" and "our."

MFC Development Corp., through its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “The Company”), is currently engaged in the direct response business, and the retail distribution business, which it acquired on August 1, 2006,  along with the commercial development and rental of real estate in  Connecticut.  The Company’s direct response business is conducted through our subsidiary, Worldwide Excellence, Inc, and its affiliates (“WWE”).  WWE is engaged in the direct marketing and branding of consumer products with particular focus on health, beauty, fitness and home consumer products.  WWE is in the business of building product brands. Typically, WWE obtains the exclusive worldwide marketing, distribution and manufacturing license rights to a particular product from its inventor or a business representative and develops the product brand through marketing campaigns that it creates and produces.

WWE seeks to further distinguish itself from other direct marketing enterprises through the development of products that create an annuity stream of revenue through what the Company refers to as “Continuity” programs.  Through WWE’s Continuity programs, customers repurchase a particular product monthly or bi-monthly for up to 30 months or more, thus maximizing the initial media investment to acquire that particular customer.  WWE’s goal is to establish a continuity model for each and every product it decides to market and distribute.

The Company began its retail distribution operations on August 1, 2006, when it purchased certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc., through a newly formed subsidiary, Adsouth Marketing LLC, The Company acquired assets comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships.

The Company owns a forty-nine (49%) percent interest in Gateway Granby, LLC, a limited liability company that owns and operates an office building in East Granby, Connecticut. The Granby property is currently being held for sale. The office building contains approximately 52,000 square feet of rentable space and is located on 7.7 developable acres.


We were incorporated in Delaware on May 18, 1990 under the name PSI Food Services Corp. On August 11, 2000, we changed our name to MFC Development Corp. Our corporate offices are located at 271 North Avenue, Suite 520 New Rochelle NY 10801.Our telephone number is 914 636-0338. Our website address for our direct response and retail distribution business is http://www.wwexcellence.com. Information contained in our website is not a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected by any of the following factors.  These risks and uncertainties, however, are not the only ones that the Company faces.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently thinks are immaterial, may also impair its business operations.

WWE has a limited operating history.


Though WWE’s management team has many years’ of experience in the direct response industry, WWE, founded in July, 2004, has only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of WWE and its prospects can be based. WWE’s prospects for financial success must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in relatively new and rapidly evolving markets, such as the direct response market.


The Company has incurred losses.


The Company incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $2,583,093 and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $2,595,000.  The Company’s management believes that these losses were due to declining revenues from older product campaigns that were nearing the end of their life cycles and where funding was not available to launch new products in the pipeline.  In addition, WWE did not have the requisite funds to increase Internet media spending for its beauty products, where initial losses are in incurred in order to generate future profitable revenue streams thereby allowing WWE to expand its Continuity programs. Additionally, the lack of funds did not allow WWE to purchase new inventory for some existing product lines, nor allow it to make investments in new product launches.


WWE expects to increase its infrastructure and operating expenditures in connection with carrying out its business strategy.  WWE cannot assure that any of its business strategies will be successful or that significant revenues or profitability will ever be achieved or, if they are achieved, that they can be consistently sustained or increased on a quarterly or annual basis.




2



We may require additional funds to develop and expand our products business.

 

We may require significant cash both to purchase products for sale and to implement an aggressive marketing program for our new products business. We do not have any credit facility for the purchase of inventory and our ability to generate revenue will be impaired to the extent that we are not able to purchase sufficient inventory in a timely manner. We have rights to products that we have not yet introduced to market. We will need additional funds in order to continue growing our business, including the market introduction of our products and the expansion of the market for our existing products. Our failure to generate cash flow from operations or raise the necessary capital could affect our ability to generate revenue and could require us to scale down some or all of our operations. We are exposed to interest rate risks under our current factoring agreement pursuant to which we pay interest of 2% plus their variable base rate. 


If we need to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources, which may impose limits on its financial and operating flexibility.  The Company cannot assure that any financing arrangements will be available or, if available, that it will be on acceptable terms.  Any additional issuance of equity or equity-related securities will be dilutive to our stockholders.


The Company may be unable to manage its growth or implement its business strategy.


Although the Company expects to experience significant growth in a relatively short period of time, it cannot assure that the growth the Company anticipates will occur, nor can the Company assure that it will be able to expand its product offerings, its client base and markets or implement the other features of the Company’s business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned.  The Company’s business strategy for growth will place, a significant strain on its administrative, operational and financial resources.

The Company’s ability to continue growing may be affected by various factors, many of which are not within the Company’s control, including competition, its ability to hire and retain additional qualified executives and other personnel, and governmental regulation of the direct response industry in the United States.  If the Company is unable to successfully manage its future growth, to establish and continue to upgrade its operating and financial control systems, to recruit and hire necessary personnel or to effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The Company may be unable to adapt to rapid industry change.

The direct response industry, the industry in which WWE operates, is characterized by constant new product introductions, and products constantly coming to the end of their product life cycles. To be successful, WWE must adapt to its rapidly changing markets by continually improving the responsiveness, products and features of its products and by developing new features to meet the needs of its customers.  WWE’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to license marketable products from others, including inventors, enhance its existing products and services, and develop new offerings that address the needs of its customers.

The Company depends on its intellectual property.


The Company believes that the protection of its intellectual property rights is, and will continue to be, important to the success of its business.  In this regard, if WWE obtains the exclusive licensing rights to a product developed by another, i.e., an inventor, the inventor will have ordinarily obtained the requisite trademark, trade dress, copyright, and patent protection for the product in the United States with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).  To the extent that the inventor has not previously obtained such intellectual property protection, the Company would assist the person to secure such protection.  If WWE develops a product internally, it is responsible for filing the requisite trademark, trade dress, copyright, and patent protection for the product in the United States with the USPTO. If the protection of WWE’s intellectual property rights is inadequate, WWE’s brand and reputation could be impaired and WWE could lose customers.


The direct response industry is highly competitive and the Company may be unable to compete effectively.

 

The direct response industry is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant change and intense marketing by providers of similar products.  WWE expects that new competitors are likely to join existing competitors in this industry, including the market for Continuity programs that it targets. Some of WWE’s current competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence as well as greater financial, technical, operational, marketing and other resources and experience than WWE does. In this regard, larger, better-financed competitors may be able to spend more than WWE on front-end media in connection with the rollout of a product under a Continuity program.




3



We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock.


We presently do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The holders of our 10% convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, cumulative dividends at a rate equal to 10% of the convertible preferred stock’s original issue price, in cash, or at our option, in shares of common stock. Any accrued dividends on the convertible preferred stock must be paid in full before we can pay a dividend on our common stock. Because we do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock, our stock may be less attractive to some investors, which could adversely affect our stock price.


The Company needs to retain its key management personnel and hire additional qualified personnel.


The Company is dependent on the efforts of its executive officers and senior management and on its ability to hire and retain qualified management personnel.  The loss of services by any of these individuals, could materially and adversely affect WWE’s business and its future prospects.  WWE has entered into a three-year employment agreement with Nancy Duitch Chief Executive Officer and Chief Marketing Officer and with Alan Gerson its President and Chief Operating Officer.  Each executive can terminate his or her employment agreement on 60 days’ notice. The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its senior management team. In addition, the Company anticipates that in order to successfully implement its business strategy, the Company will be required to recruit and hire additional qualified personnel.  Failure to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, including management personnel who will train and integrate the Company’s new employees in addition to their role in continuing to manage the Company’s growth strategy could adversely affect the Company.


We may be subject to claims arising from the use of our products.

 

As a company that markets and sells skin care and related products, we may be subject to claims relating to such concerns as allergic or other reaction to the products and claims as to the efficacy of the products even if the products are manufactured by others. We cannot assure that we will not be subject to such claims or that we will be successful in defending any such claims. Any litigation, regardless of the outcome, would entail significant costs and use of management time which could impair our ability to generate revenue and profit. In the event that we have liability from a claim relating to any of our products, our insurance may not be sufficient to cover our liability. Although we presently have product liability insurance, it may not be available in the future at a reasonable cost, if at all.

 

Because we have no manufacturing facilities we are dependent upon third party suppliers to manufacture our products.

 

All of our products are or will be manufactured for us by non-affiliated manufacturers pursuant to purchase orders, and we do not have any long-term agreements with any supplier. We rely upon our suppliers to develop and test their formulations, to produce a uniform product for us in facilities that comply with applicable laws, to implement adequate quality control procedures and to deliver product to us in a timely manner. The failure of our suppliers to do any of the foregoing could affect both our ability to delivery quality product in a timely manner and the willingness of our customers to purchase our products. We also test the products. Further, in the event that we change suppliers, it may be necessary to change the formulations of one or more of our products, and we cannot assure you that we will have a smooth transition to a new supplier or that we will not encounter other serious problems in the quality or delivery of products resulting from a change in supplier.

 

Breaches in WWE’s third party Internet network security systems may adversely affect the Company.


WWE could lose customers and expose itself to liability if there are any breaches to WWE’s third party Internet network security systems, which in turn could jeopardize the security of confidential information stored on the Company’s behalf by such third party. To date, WWE has not experienced any breaches of its third party Internet network security systems.  There can be no assurance that breaches of these Internet network security systems will not happen in the future.


The Company needs to attract new customers, retain its present customers, and maintain customer satisfaction.


WWE’s success will depend heavily on the extent to which it maintains and expands its customer base for WWE’s products. There is no assurance that WWE will succeed with this endeavor and if WWE does not attract new customers, retain its present customers, and maintain customer satisfaction, its growth strategy will be adversely affected.


The Company’s business may be adversely impacted because it is subject to regulation at the local, state, federal and international levels.



4




WWE is subject to varying degrees of international, federal, state and local regulation.  Significant consumer protection regulations are imposed at each of these levels.  All direct response marketers are governed by the Federal Trade Commission Act, including the Act’s provisions prohibiting deceptive practices in connection the advertising, marketing, and sale of consumer products.  The commencement of a proceeding against WWE with respect to one or more of its products could have an adverse effect on WWE. 


The Company’s business may be adversely impacted by “Headline Risk.”


Adverse publicity generated from, for example, a defective product, a product recall or the commencement of a proceeding by a governmental agency could discourage current customers from continuing to use WWE’s products or discourage prospective customers from trying its products.  In addition the WWE’s suppliers, due to the adverse publicity, may refuse to do business with it.  If any of these situations occur, WWE’s business will be adversely affected.


If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

 

We may not be able to identify and integrate future acquisitions. If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the affect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.

 

In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:


·

the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;

·

the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;

·

the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;

·

difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;

·

difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

·

the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;

·

the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;

·

the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;

·

potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether of not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.

 

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions, many of which cannot be presently identified, these risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We may not be able to successfully manage our growth.

Our liability to manage our growth will require that we continue to improve its operational, financial and management information systems, and to motivate and effectively manage its employees. If our management is unable to manage such growth effectively, then the quality of our services, our ability to retain key personnel and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to obtain additional financing.

In order to develop and expand our operations and increase revenues, additional financing will be required, which additional financing may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. There is no assurance that we will be



5



successful in raising additional capital or that the proceeds of any future financings will be sufficient to meet our future capital needs. We may need to seek additional financing sooner than we anticipate as a result of any of the following factors:

changes in operating plans;

acceleration of the Company’s business development plans;

lower than anticipated sales;

increased costs of business development;

increased operating costs; or

potential acquisitions.


ADDITIONAL RISKS CONCERNING SALES FOR RETAIL DISTRIBUTION

 

Since there are a small number of major retail chains for sales of our products, the loss of any of these customers could result in a significant decrease in both revenues and income from our retail distribution business.

 

During 2005, the predecessor owner of the retail distribution business reported that 39% of retail distribution revenues were derived from one customer and during 2004, 74% of retail product revenues were derived from this same customer.   If we were to be unable to offer new product to our limited number of large retail distribution customers, we would lose that source of revenue.  


Because we sell our products to discount chains, we are dependent upon the purchasing and return policies of these chains.

 

Our retail distribution in large part involves the sale of our product to discount chains and because of their buying power, we are subject to their policies on such matters as accepting and scheduling deliveries, payment and returns. In order to sell products to these chains we may have to place reserves against the accounts receivables from these chains, which may impair our ability to operate profitably by reducing our gross margins and increasing our selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Some of the products which we sell are unrelated to our direct response marketing business, and we may not be able to generate profits from these lines.


Some of our products and the market for our products are different from our direct response marketing business. The markets to which we market our products are highly competitive. Our ability to operate this business profitably will be dependent upon a number of factors, including: (i) our ability to maintain our existing shelf space and desirable displays in stores, in face of competition from numerous major and specialty product companies that presently dominate the market for those products; (ii) our ability to price our products at levels that make them attractive to retail customers and enable us to generate a sufficient gross margin to enable us to generate profits from the sales; (iii) the consumer’s response to our products, including their willingness to make repeat purchases; and, (iv) our ability to develop brand recognition by advertising for our products. If we are not able to retain shelf space or if the consumer’s response to our products is not favorable, we may be unable to continue in this business. We can not assure that we will be successful in generating either adequate shelf space or customer acceptance.

 

Because of the terms on which we sell products to certain retailers, we may incur difficulties in purchasing inventory

 

We intend to factor our receivable and are negotiating a factoring agreement. Two of our major customers purchase retail distribution products from us on a “pay on scan” basis, which means that the customer has no obligation to make payment to us until and unless the product is sold to a customer. Because we do not generate an account receivable until the product is ultimately sold by the retailer, we will  not have an account receivable to sell to a factor which could impair our cash flow and our ability to purchase additional inventory.  We cannot assure that we will be able to finance such sales in the future, which could impair our ability both to place product in two major retail accounts and to generate revenue.


RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF REAL PROPERTY


The Company’s controlling ownership interest in an office building and underlying developable land in Granby, Connecticut through its Gateway Granby subsidiary entails certain risks associated with commercial real estate generally as well as risks particular to the Granby project.  Among these risks are: a limited number of potential tenants with a need for the amount of consolidated office space available at Granby; the risk that the Company will be unable to repay or refinance a second mortgage on the property prior to the maturity of a balloon payment of $1.1M on August 1, 2009; the risk that the Company will



6



be unable to attract tenants for vacant office space at commercially viable rental rates or at all; and the risk that an existing adjustable rate mortgage on the property will increase at or after December 31, 2007 to a rate that results in negative cash flow in connection with operation of the Granby building.

 

RISKS RELATED WITH OWNERSHIP OF OUR SECURITIES


There is currently a limited trading market for our common stock.


Our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market through the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will be maintained. Trading of securities on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board is generally limited and is effected on a less regular basis than that effected on other exchanges or quotation systems (such as the NASDAQ Stock Market), and accordingly investors who own or purchase common stock will find that the liquidity or transferability of the common stock is limited. Additionally, a stockholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value, of common stock. We cannot assure you that our common stock will ever be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any other quotation system (including, without limitation, the NASDAQ Stock Market).

 

The application of the penny stock rules could adversely affect trading in our common stock.


If the trading price of our common stock falls below $5.00 per share, the open-market trading of our common stock will be a "low-priced" security under the "penny stock" rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The "penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer's duties in selling the stock, the customer's rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer's financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions will probably decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, decrease liquidity of our common stock and increase transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.


Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

 


NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.


In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, if our stock trades below $5.00 per share, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.


We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, which may reduce your return on an investment in our common stock.




7



Other than the dividends owed to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, we plan to use all of our earnings, to the extent we have earnings, to fund our operations. We do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We cannot guarantee that we will, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution as a dividend to the holders of our common stock. Therefore, any return on your investment would derive from an increase in the price of our stock, which may or may not occur.


Substantial future sales of our common stock in the public market may depress our stock price.


Upon effectiveness of this prospectus, and based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 1, 2006, we will have 21,138,751 shares of common stock outstanding. The 31,314,974 shares in this offering, assuming conversion of warrants for 2,529,000 shares of common stock, assuming conversion of preferred stock for 2,410,000 shares of common stock and assuming conversion of debentures for 17,508,334 shares of common stock, will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the federal securities laws, subject in some cases to volume and other limitations.


In addition, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register 1,977,000 shares of our common stock underlying options granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants and 3,023,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. These shares, if issued in accordance with these plans, will be eligible for immediate sale in the public market, subject to volume limitations.


If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our common stock could fall. The sale of a large number of shares could impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the price at which we could sell our common stock.


We may raise additional capital through a securities offering that could dilute your ownership interest and voting rights.


Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Our Board of Directors has approved an increase in our authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares; we intend to have this increase approved by a small number of stockholders pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a special meeting. Assuming the increase in authorized common stock is approved by stockholders, as of September 1, 2006, after taking into consideration our outstanding common and preferred shares, our board of directors will be entitled to issue up to 78,861,249 additional common shares and 795,000 preferred shares. The power of the board of directors to issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of our stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval.


We may require additional working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of additional common stock or securities convertible into common stock by our board of directors will also have the effect of diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock.

 

We are controlled by our principal stockholders, executive officers and directors, and as a result, the trading price for our shares may be depressed and these stockholders can take actions that may be adverse to your interests.


Our principal stockholders, executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 42.8% of our common stock including options, convertible preferred stock and warrants held by each principal stockholder, executive officer and director that are exercisable within 60 days of September 1, 2006. These stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors and any proposed merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, they could dictate the management of our business and affairs. This concentration of ownership could have the affect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, or impeding a merger or consolidation, takeover or other business combination that could be favorable to you. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders.



Our incorporation documents and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also limit the market price of your stock, which may inhibit an attempt by our stockholders to change our direction or management.




8



Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. Some of these provisions:


·

authorize our board of directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series without further action by our stockholders;

·

establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting; and


In addition, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of Delaware General Corporate Law. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us, which may prevent or frustrate any attempt by our stockholders to change our management or the direction in which we are heading. These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future and result in the market price being lower than it would be without these provisions.

 

New rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our common stock.


 We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of the recent and currently proposed changes in the rules and regulations which govern publicly-held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications from executive officers and requirements for financial experts on the board of directors. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in the issuance of a series of new rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC. Further, certain of these recent and proposed changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective, and our independent auditors may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business.


We are subject to various regulatory requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We, like all other public companies, must incur additional expenses and, to a lesser extent, diversion of our management’s time in our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regarding internal controls over financial reporting. We have not evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting in order to allow management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to, our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the SEC, which we collectively refer to as Section 404. We have never performed the system and process evaluation and testing required in an effort to comply with the management assessment and auditor certification requirements of Section 404, which may initially apply to us in 2007.  Our lack of familiarity with Section 404 may unduly divert management’s time and resources in executing the business plan. If, in the future, management identifies one or more material weaknesses, or our external auditors are unable to attest that our management’s report is fairly stated or to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, this could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, have an adverse effect on our stock price and/or subject us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities.

The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly-traded public float and limited operating history. The price at which you purchase our common shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, lack of capital to execute our



9



business plan, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our business strategy. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results, market acceptance of our business strategy, government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures, our capital commitments, and additions or departures of our key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect, if any, that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

 THE COMPANY


General

MFC Development Corp., through its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “The Company”), is currently engaged in the direct response marketing business, and the retail distribution business, which it acquired on August 1, 2006,  along with the commercial development and rental of real estate in  Connecticut.

The Company was incorporated on May 18, 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware as PSI Food Services, Inc. On August 9, 2000, the Company changed its name to MFC Development Corp.

On November 29, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Worldwide Excellence, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WWE”), in accordance with the provisions of a certain acquisition agreement dated as of July 29, 2005 (“Acquisition Agreement”) among WWE, WWE’s stockholders, and the Company. The Company acquired 100% percent of WWE’s outstanding common stock in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the merger, former WWE stockholders hold a majority of the Company’s common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, with WWE being the acquirer for accounting purposes.


Recent Event

On August 1, 2006, the Company purchased certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc. comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships. MFC now refers to the acquired business as its retail distribution business.  The purchase price for the assets included a cash and stock component. The cash component was the payment of $1,525,000 at closing; subject to adjustment after closing based on the actual value of certain Adsouth assets and liabilities. The cash component was paid by delivery of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,525,000. The stock component of the purchase price was paid by issuance of 5.5 million shares of MFC’s common stock, 750,000 shares of which are being held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of Adsouth.  

Financial Information about Segments

Operating segments are managed separately and represent separate business units that offer different products and serve different markets. The Company's reportable segments include: (1) direct response marketing and retail distribution, (2) real estate rental and development, and (3) other, which is comprised of corporate overhead and discontinued operations. The direct response and retail distribution business operates on a national and international basis from WWE’s offices in Los Angeles, California and Boca Raton, Florida. The real estate segment operates in New York and Connecticut from MFC’s office in New Rochelle, New York.


Products and Services

The Company operates three business segments consisting of the direct response business, retail distribution business and the development and rental of real estate in Connecticut.  The Company is in the process of liquidating the discontinued operations of the Company’s former medical division.  

THE COMPANY’S DIRECT RESPONSE MARKETING BUSINESS

The Company’s direct response business is conducted through our subsidiary, Worldwide Excellence, Inc, and its affiliates (“WWE”), which business for accounting purposes is considered the historical business of the Company after the Closing.  WWE, under the terms of an Asset Purchase and Consulting Agreement, effective date July 1, 2004 among Nancy Duitch, Ralf Leszinski, WWE and Buckhead Marketing and Distribution, LLC and its affiliated companies (collectively, “Oldco”) acquired certain Oldco assets; assumed Oldco’s interest in a product management contract, and was assigned Oldco’s rights under certain contracts.  WWE also entered into a product management agreement with certain of the Oldco entities and a consulting agreement with Mr. Leszinski.  WWE paid Mr. Leszinski the last installment of the purchase price for the Oldco assets it acquired and issued him 850,000 shares of MFC Common Stock.  

WWE is engaged in the direct marketing and branding of consumer products with particular focus on health, beauty, fitness and home consumer products.  WWE is in the business of building product brands. Typically, WWE obtains the exclusive



11



worldwide marketing, distribution and manufacturing license rights to a particular product from its inventor or a business representative and develops the product brand through marketing campaigns that it creates and produces.

WWE seeks to further distinguish itself from other direct marketing enterprises through the development of products that create an annuity stream of revenue through what the Company refers to as “Continuity” programs.  Through WWE’s Continuity programs, customers repurchase a particular product monthly or bi-monthly for up to 30 months or more, thus maximizing the initial media investment to acquire that particular customer.  WWE’s goal is to establish a continuity model for each and every product it decides to market and distribute.

The direct response products marketed by the Company are offered for sale, directly to the public via commercial marketing messages purchased by the Company in a variety of media channels, which include Television via infomercials, short form commercial messages or shopping channels, print, radio or through a variety of Internet advertising channels and/or websites.  After successful branding of products in these distribution channels, the sale of such products eventually focuses on distribution U.S. retail outlets, catalogues, international distribution channels and other non-electronic distribution outlets. 


Market Overview

The direct response industry, which consists of long form (infomercial) productions, short-form commercials, print, live home shopping channels, Internet marketing and radio advertising, is one of the fastest growing segments of the overall “retailing” industry according to the industry trade association, Electronic Retailing Association.  This marketing medium is a format that produces immediate measurable results.  This industry is not seasonal.

Companies who market their products through direct response television typically purchase commercial airtime from local broadcast stations and regional and national cable television operators across the country, either directly or through media buying agencies. Infomercial programs are most commonly run during late night and overnight time periods during the week and throughout the day on weekends.

Availability of time periods varies from station to station, depending on programming. The majority of customer purchases occur within the first few hours following the airing of infomercial programs. Some direct response television companies also choose to market their products through retail channels, particularly after a product has been on air a sufficient amount of time to build brand awareness required for success at the retail level.

In addition to domestic television and retail channels, there is generally a significant demand for U.S. direct response television products internationally. A direct response television company with a successful product in the U.S. may work with one or more international distributors who specialize in bringing U.S. direct response television products to countries around the world.


Marketing and Sales


The Company, through its WWE subsidiary presently engages in both business to consumer (“B2C”) and business to business (“B2B”) sales.


In the B2C sales channel, WWE buys media through a media buying agency specializing in short-form (2 minute) or long-form (30 minutes) infomercials. WWE out-sources:  (a) the call center operation to a specialized call center company, and (b) the physical fulfillment, order processing and customer service to a fulfillment house. WWE also purchases media on the Web directly or through agencies and therefore does not need to utilize the call center aspect, as orders come in directly via on-line systems. The fulfillment center is still needed to process the orders.  In addition, WWE maintains its own websites for each product that is currently active.


In the B2B-business channel, WWE sells the product to a domestic downstream business partner such as HSN, QVC, shop NBC, Shop at Home, Wal-Mart, Costco, and Target, catalogues and others (credit card billing inserts). WWE manages the order process from manufacturing to delivery.


International sales opportunities are created, typically once the product has proven to be commercially successful in the US, at which time WWE sells the product to an international distributor. There are some 90 countries around the world that can show US infomercials.  WWE will sell its products to one of four or five reputable international distributors, who then resell the products to sub-marketers who air the infomercials in the individual countries.  WWE will customarily provide the original infomercial free of charge to the national companies, and profit from the non-returnable sale of the product.  International sales can continue for several years after the end of the US campaign.

Product Categories


In the direct response product industry, there are two types of products, those that are one-time sales, e.g., a piece of fitness equipment, and those products with regular re-orders that create an annuity, e.g., consumable health (diet) and beauty products, also known as Continuity products.

 

One-Time Sale Product Life Cycle


One-time sales products go through a series of product life cycles. The initial launch: (a) on infomercials, which are either in two minute or 30-minute formats, (b)  in direct response print, or (c) the Internet. The initial launch usually has a typical life length of between six and 18 months.  Concurrent or just after the TV launch, the product may be offered in both print and Internet mediums.


Three to six months after the launch of the infomercial, the product typically premiers on live shopping, for on average three to nine months. Typically, the product will have a 10% to 15% discount compared to the infomercial price or will include an upsell item to make for a ‘better deal’ for the customer. Some products, due to the need for a minimum five to six times markup at the infomercial stage, get launched directly to live shopping.


For some products, three to six months after the launch of the infomercial and after considerable media expenditures, the product is offered at retail “As Seen On TV.” At this point, the expected shelf length is from three to 12 months. Additionally, the product is offered in catalogues and credit card billing inserts, often at a price comparable to the initial infomercial price.


The Continuity Model Product Life Cycle


The life cycle and the economics of amply capitalized Continuity products are fundamentally different from that of a one-time sale product.  In the case of the one-time sales products, WWE only has one opportunity to make a profit.  In the case of the Continuity products, customers will continue to reorder, sometimes for more than 19 cycles, covering over 38 months.  WWE also has the ability to “buy” customers, i.e., accept a financial loss on the initial sales, because the subsequent continuity shipments will generate the required profits, and build a brand.


The most significant difference between the initial sale and the continuity sale is the lack of two major cost elements for the continuity sale – media and telemarketing. Not all customers who buy the initial product sign up for continuity, or, even if they do sign up, they do not always stay on the program for multiple continuity cycles. Over time, with each continuity cycle, more and more customers will drop-off.  The steepest losses occur on the first two cycles; the customers who make it to the third cycle typically very much enjoy the product, and can stay on as long as the product is offered.

In order to increase customer retention through each cycle, WWE actively manages each cycle of the program, by offering free gifts, catalogue items, beauty tips, color inserts, free information on health and beauty, and free shipments. On a regular basis, new marketing initiatives are developed and tested as the results of the retention rates are analyzed.


Competition


The direct response industry is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to constant change and intense marketing by providers of similar products.  WWE expects that new competitors are likely to join existing competitors in this industry, including the market for continuity programs that it targets.


There are many small, one-product direct response marketing companies.  As the companies participating in this market are mostly privately held, except Ronco, Nautilus, Inc., and InterMix Media Inc., reliable competitive financial information is not ordinarily available.  The larger competitors are Guthy-Renker, Thane International, Inc., Sylmark, Inc., and Tristar Products, Inc.  The other competitors are either single product companies or dependent solely on TV media sales which involve unpredictable up and down revenue years.  All of the live shopping channels are either public companies or subsidiaries of public companies.  Management believes that only Guthy-Renker and InterMix have succeeded with the Continuity sales model.


The largest direct response marketing company, Guthy-Renker, utilizes a Continuity sales model; however, it is almost completely based on TV media sales. Given their significant financial resources, they are willing to lose money on the front end by paying more to produce the infomercial by including “A List” celebrities (and acquiring more customers), because they understand the customer lifetime value.  Their TV media sales focus is more costly media than Internet media.



13




The primary competitive factors in the direct marketing industry are the Company’s ability to license or develop successful products, feature products that make the customer feel and/or look better, and to brand its products and its overall reputation. Once awareness of the Company’s name, reputation and associated products is achieved, on-going customer service and deployment of new quality products become key competitive factors.

THE COMPANY’S RETAIL DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS

The Company began its retail distribution operations on August 1, 2006, when it purchased certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc., through a newly formed subsidiary, Adsouth Marketing LLC.  The Company acquired assets comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships.

Market Overview


Our strategy is to leverage our advertising in the direct response marketing business to enhance sales in the retail distribution business. We intend to use our knowledge of consumer products to develop, acquire or obtain rights to products which we believe can enhance our overall business. We presently either own the rights to or have distribution rights for a number of products, most of which are skin care and related products. As part of our business strategy, we intend to seek to obtain products or distribution rights to other products, which may be in different fields from our present products.


Products


The following is a list of our current products that are included in our retail distribution:

·

The Dermafresh line of skin care product, which, presently consists of five skin care products.  PEARL one of the products - Anti Wrinkle/ Moisturizing Mist, an advanced anti-wrinkle moisturizing treatment used by members of the entertainment industry, for which in August 2006, we obtained an exclusive two year distribution agreement with StarMaker Products for domestic and international distribution. StarMaker Products is a joint effort between director and former Happy Days star, Anson Williams and renowned makeup artist and product developer JoAnna Connell.

·

The e70 brand, a line of products created by Delmar, Inc., which utilize Delmar’s proprietary technology utilized in skin care formulations which incorporates the nutrients included in the whole egg and is used in Delmar’s proprietary L’Avenir products.

·

Hercules Hook, a uniquely designed hook for hanging items on walls, for which in August 2006, we obtained an exclusive three year marketing and distribution rights agreement. We are utilizing direct response veteran Billy Mays to market the Hercules Hook.

·

Extreme Beam and Clip Light - During 2005 we internally developed and marketed two lines of flashlights branded as the “Extreme Beam Flashlight” and the “Clip Light”.

·

The Mitsu brand, which consists of four personal enhancement products for which we have conducted limited marketing to date.


We intend to continue obtaining products or marketing rights for other products, which may be in the same market as our current product offerings or which may be in markets which are unrelated to those markets. In seeking new products, we focus on the potential market for the product, our potential ability to expand that market, and the extent that we can use our advertising in our direct response marketing business to develop and implement a retail distribution marketing plan. We also consider the possibility that the product can be marketed in the same distribution channels as other products that we market, even if the marketing is directed to a different division or purchasing organization. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain rights to, and successfully market, any new products. We periodically review our products to evaluate the marketability , and, we may decide to discontinue any one or more products if we determine that we cannot profitably market the product.


Marketing and Sales


We market our products to major retail, drug store, food and similar chains. In marketing to these chains we seek to demonstrate that our products meet a consumer need, are priced in a manner that could allow the stores to generate sufficient sales to justify stocking the product and that we are able to provide consistency in our products and timely deliveries. In general, before committing to a major purchase, a chain may test market the product with a modest quantity, and, if the tests show consumer acceptance, increase the size of the order. Because of their buying power, in selling to major retail establishments, we are subject to their policies with respect to such matters as scheduling and delivering of products, payment terms and returns. These policies may result is a net realizable sale price to us which is less that the stated price on the purchase order.



14




The key to selling and marketing our skin care and related products is the ability to obtain shelf space, and, whenever possible, obtain space for a display. Typically, displays are used for products which the retailer believes will generate high volume over a relatively short time. We have been able to place major displays for our Dermafresh line of products with most of our retail accounts. We believe that the ability to place such displays in stores will help the stores to generate sufficient sales to justify product reorders or to place the products in other stores owned or operated by the retailer. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining existing or obtaining new shelf space if needed or in placing displays with our retail accounts, or that the placement of products will generate significant additional revenue. 


As part of our marketing strategy, we have arrangements with two major retailers pursuant to which we sell products on a pay on scan basis, by which we provide the product to the retailer, but do not recognize a sale until the retailer sells the product. We believe that this strategy has enabled us to obtain more shelf space in major retailers than we would otherwise be able to obtain.


We also plan to leverage our advertising for products that are sold through our direct response marketing business. Such advertising includes infomercials, print ads and internet marketing. We will be able to use our direct response marketing capability to introduce new products or test customer response to the product. Based on the response to our direct response marketing campaign, we can change the product presentation or packaging to address issues which we believe are of concern to consumers.


Product Development


We plan to begin the internal development of our own proprietary branded products. We will identify new and or developing market trends within the retail and direct response marketing industry and create our own brand name and packaging for the products. Historically, this business has used third party manufacturers to produce the products. We will not perform traditional research and development activities but rather develop the creative packaging and marketing plan for distributing the products. All of our internal product development costs are charged to operations as they are incurred.


Suppliers


We do not manufacture any of our products. In general, our products are manufactured either by third party suppliers pursuant to purchase orders. We purchase products for which we have distribution rights from the party who granted us the rights or from its authorized manufacturers. Because some of our product volume is currently low, we are not able to take advantage of quantity pricing from those suppliers. To the extent that we are able to increase our volume of products significantly, we expect that we will be able to reduce the cost of our products. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to generate sufficient volume to enable us to significantly reduce the cost of our products.


Major Customers


Customers for our products are generally mass merchandising retail companies, including some of the largest retailers in the United States. To the extent that we are dependent upon one or more of these retailers, we may be subject to their policies on such matters as the time of delivery and payment as well as their cancellation and return policies. It may be necessary for us to accept such terms in order to generate the business.


Competition


The markets in which our products are sold are highly competitive. Our products compete with products of many large and small companies, including well-known global competitors, such as The Proctor & Gamble Company, Johnson & Johnson, and Revlon, Inc. Each product which we introduce competes with major manufacturers and distributors. We market our products with advertising, including direct response advertising, promotions and other vehicles to build awareness of our brands in conjunction with an extensive sales force. We believe this combination provides the most efficient method of marketing for these types of products. Product quality, performance, value and packaging are also important competitive factors. We believe that we gain a certain level of competitive advantage by utilizing cost savings from our direct response advertising business which provides us with a lower overall advertising cost to promote our products.


In marketing our products we also compete with the major companies in seeking shelf space and in placing displays in prime locations within a store. The ability to obtain shelf space and to display our products in the stores is crucial to generating business, especially for products, such as ours, that are not as well known as the products which are manufactured and marketed by some of the largest skin care and food products companies in the world. After an initial order, retail outlets, especially mass marketing retailers, decide on whether and how much to order and where to display the product in the store based on their



15



perception of the consumer response to the product. Thus, without good shelf space or displays for an initial order, it may be difficult for a new product to generate a favorable consumer response which in turn affects the willingness of the retailer to make further purchases.

THE COMPANY’S REAL ESTATE BUSINESS

The Company’s real estate business is conducted through a Company subsidiary.

Hunter, New York (property sold)

Yolo Equities Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary was incorporated in October 1992, as a New York corporation. Yolo holds a mortgage on a real estate parcel and owned a 65-acre real estate parcel in Hunter, New York.   The 65-acre property is in an area known as Hunter Highlands, which is adjacent to the Hunter Mountain Ski Slopes in the Town of Hunter, Greene County, New York. The 65-acre parcel, which was subject to a contract for sale, dated November 23, 2005, was sold on March 27, 2006, (the “Land Closing”). The property was sold to Mountaintrail at Hunter, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Mountaintrail”) for $900,000.  

Marketing Activities


The Company's marketing in its real estate activities is limited to working with real estate brokers.


Competition


The office building owned by Granby is currently 63% occupied by unrelated tenants. Granby competes with many



16



owners of office buildings in the Northern Hartford, Connecticut area for leasing and lease renewals. The general competitive conditions to which the East Granby Property is subject to is high with respect to both leasing and sales but favorable with respect to mortgage financing.


The Company’s Discontinued Operations


The Company’s discontinued operations consists of the former medical financing business, conducted through Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which (a) purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (b) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. The Company sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business in exchange for preferential collection rates on the receivables that are expected to be collected


Intellectual Property


The Company’s Direct Response Marketing Business

When WWE obtains the exclusive licensing rights to a product developed by another, i.e., an inventor, the inventor will have ordinarily obtained the requisite trademark, trade dress, copyright, and patent protection for the product in the United States with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). To the extent that the inventor has not previously obtained such intellectual property protection, WWE would assist the person to secure such protection. 

If WWE develops a product internally, it is responsible for filing the requisite trademark, trade dress, copyright, and patent protection for the product in the United States with the USPTO. To date, WWE has not developed any products internally and, accordingly, the Company has not made any filings with the USPTO.  WWE has many trademarks.

The Company’s intellectual property, to the extent it is not subject to trademark, copyright or patent protection, is protected through use of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. To this end, WWE requires each of its officers and employees to enter into confidentiality agreements.

We own the Extreme Beam trademark.

FTC Consent Decree

On March 9, 2004, the Federal Trade Commission entered into a voluntary consent order resulting from an investigation that began in December, 2002.  The Order was with among others, Buckhead Marketing and Distribution LLC, PAP Systems LLC and Nancy Duitch individually resulting from the marketing of the Peel Away the Pounds Weight Loss System.  The order contains no admission of wrongdoing and no finding of liability and was entered into for settlement purposes only.  The Order is binding upon the corporate successors and assigns.  The order also applies in certain instances to any business in which Nancy Duitch is an officer or director, or has a majority ownership interest in, directly or indirectly controls, or any other business in which Nancy Duitch is engaged in activity related to the marketing of any product, service or program that provides health benefits, including weight or inch loss or related benefits, or the marketing of any food, drug or cosmetic where certain claims are made, but only to the extent that such business acts in active concert or participation with Ms. Duitch.  Ms. Duitch is a director, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company, and through the Duitch Family Trust, beneficially owns approximately 21.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  The order prohibits certain weight loss representations and requires that other specified weight loss, fat loss and similar claims made in future advertising and claims regarding the results of tests or studies be substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence.  This is generally consistent with the standard for substantiating claims currently required by the FTC for all weight loss and dietary supplement products.

We do not have a nominating committee of the Board of Directors, or any committee performing similar functions. Nominees for election as a director are selected by the Board of Directors.

The audit committee of the Board of Directors consists of Roger Burlage and Victor Imbimbo who are non-employee directors of the Company. The audit committee reviews actions with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the selection of the company’s independent public accountants, the scope of the annual audits, the nature of non-audit services, the fees to be paid to the independent public accountants, and the accounting practices of the Company. The Company does not currently have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. The Company may in the future attempt to add a qualified board member to serve as an audit committee financial expert in the future, subject to its ability to locate and compensate such a person.


Except as disclosed in the applicable employment agreements discussed in the section of this document titled “The Company — Director and Executive Officer Compensation — Employment Agreements” and as disclosed in the section of this document titled “The Company — Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” no arrangement or understanding exists between any executive officer and any other person pursuant to which any executive officer was selected to serve as an executive officer.

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Director Compensation


On April 10, 2006, our Board approved a compensation plan for each non-employee director of the Board of Directors who owned less than 5% of the Company's stock. The plan includes both options and shares of restricted stock.  This plan replaces the prior director compensation arrangements.


Options: Each director is granted options to acquire 30,000 shares of common stock upon joining the Board; 10,000 options vest upon joining the Board, the balance of 20,000 vests at the rate of 2,500 shares per quarter, beginning at the end of the first quarter, following the first anniversary of joining the Board. The exercise price is the closing price of common stock on the grant date. Additional options to acquire 9,000 shares of common stock are granted upon joining the Board, which vest quarterly over three years. The exercise price is also the closing price of common stock on the grant date.


Restricted Stock:  Each director is also issued 7,500 shares of common stock upon joining the Board, which shares vest quarterly at the rate of 650 shares per quarter beginning at the end of the first quarter after the director’s joining the board.

Security Ownership of Management and Certain Beneficial Owners


The following table sets forth information as to each person who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock and as to the security and percentage ownership of each executive officer and director of the Company and all officers and directors of the Company as a group.  Except where specifically noted, each person listed in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares listed.


We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners listed below, based on the information furnished by these owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to the securities indicated as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


On November 29, 2005, in connection with the Closing of the reverse merger,


(a)

Lester Tanner, the Company’s then Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer and 20% stockholder of the Company and current President of Yolo Equities Corp., a wholly owned Company subsidiary (“Yolo”), and 5% stockholder of the Company, was issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in consideration for the conversion of certain of the Company’s bonds owned by Mr. Tanner in the principal amount of $100,000; the conversion price for the Company bonds owned by Mr. Tanner and others was determined by negotiation between the Company and WWE in connection with the execution and delivery of the stock acquisition agreement dated as of July 29, 2005 among WWE, WWE’s stockholders, and the Company (the “Stock Acquisition Agreement”); and


(b)

Anders Sterner, a then Company director and stockholder of the Company, was issued 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in consideration for the conversion of certain of the Company’s bonds owned by Mr. Sterner in the principal amount of $75,000; the conversion price for the Company bonds owned by Mr. Sterner and others was determined by negotiation between the Company and WWE in connection with the execution and delivery of the previously mentioned Stock Acquisition Agreement.


In July, 2005, under the terms of the Stock Acquisition Agreement, Lester Tanner agreed to defer for 90 days from the Closing, the payment to him of any accrued but unpaid salary. At the time of the Closing, the amount of the accrued but unpaid salary was of $163,424 (the “Deferred Compensation”).  Mr. Tanner reserved the right during the deferral period to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, in lieu of the payment of the Deferred Compensation.  On December 21, 2005, Mr. Tanner agreed to convert his Deferred Compensation of $163,424 into 108,949 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the conversion rate of $1.50 per share.  The conversion price for the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Mr. Tanner in lieu of the payment of Deferred Compensation was determined by negotiation between the Company and WWE in connection with the execution and delivery of the Stock Acquisition Agreement.

Under a Contract of Sale dated as of November 23, 2005, Yolo agreed to sell a 65 acre parcel of undeveloped real estate in Hunter, New York to Mountaintrail at Hunter, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Mountaintrail”) for $900,000.  Mountaintrail is owned: (a) 51.67% by Yolo at Hunter, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“YoloH”), (b) 35.00% by Trailside Inroads, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Trailside”) (100% owned by Lester Tanner (the former Chairman, President, and CEO of the Company and the President of Yolo through April 19, 2006, and a stockholder of the Company) and his affiliates), and  (c) 13.33% by Lester Tanner and affiliates.

The selling price of $900,000 was paid to Yolo as follows: (a) $380,000 from Mountaintrail, and (b) the receipt by Yolo of a 51.67% membership interest in Mountaintrail, through YoloH, valued at $520,000.

As of December 31, 2005, YoloH was owned 100% by Yolo. In March 2006, Yolo sold 49.84% of its membership interest in YoloH to affiliates of Mr. Tanner for $309,000, leaving Yolo with a balance of 50.16% ownership interest in YoloH, valued at $211,000. On April 11, 2006, Yolo entered into an agreement with Mr. Tanner to sell the remaining 50.16% interest in YoloH to him for $211,000, which closed on April 19, 2006. The Company’s basis in the property was $900,000, and therefore, Yolo recorded no gain or loss on the sale. The Company’s management believes that terms of sale of the 65 acre parcel, including, without limitation, the sale price, are as fair as could have been obtained from an unaffiliated party in an arm’s length transaction.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including but not limited to, statements regarding future operations, financial condition and liquidity, future borrowing, capital requirements, and the Company's future development  and growth plans, are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the headings “Risks Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and other risk factors described herein and in the Company's reports filed and to be filed from time to time with the Commission and the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements.” The most relevant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: (i) Closing of the second installment of the Financing that closed on August 2, 2006 is conditioned on the Company’s filing of the registration statement as well as other customary conditions.  There can be no assurance that the second installment of the Financing will ultimately be consummated. The funds from the second closing will be needed to expand our product offerings, client base and markets, and to implement the other features of our business strategy; (ii) The direct response marketing industry is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to constant change and intense marketing by providers of similar products. WWE’s must be able to license marketable products from others, and develop new products that address the needs of its customers; (iii) The Internet, which WWE is dependent on in carrying out its business strategy, is susceptible to security breaches, which may cause WWE to lose customers, even though WWE has not experienced any security breaches in the past; (iv) WWE is subject to government regulation, and a legislative change or action with respect to one of our products, could have an adverse effect on the Company; (v) A legislative change in insurance regulations affecting the future collections of receivables in the Company’s discontinued medical segment and adverse arbitration or court decisions on can affect the collectibility of receivables and (vi) Changes in the real estate and financial markets or environmental action by governments affecting development of real estate can have an adverse affect on the marketability of the Company’s real estate holdings. The discussion and analysis below is based on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the and related Notes thereto and included herein and incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

On November 29, 2005, the Company (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “MFC”) completed the acquisition (the “Closing”) of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Worldwide Excellence, Inc. “WWE”, a Delaware corporation, in accordance with the provisions of a certain Acquisition Agreement dated as of July 29, 2005 among WWE and the Company (hereafter to be referred as “MFC” prior to the Closing and the Company as the consolidated entity after the Closing), and WWE’s stockholders. MFC acquired one hundred (100%) percent of WWE’s outstanding common stock in exchange for shares of MFC common stock.  At the closing, 11,500,000 shares of MFC’s common stock were issued to former stockholders of WWE and their designees and 710,000 shares of the MFC’s common stock were issued to a finder and its



27



designees. On the same day, as a requirement to close the transaction, MFC note holders converted $500,000 of debt into 500,000 shares of common stock. In addition, 35,000 shares of MFC common stock were issued for payment of legal fees.

As a result of the merger, former WWE stockholders hold a majority of the voting interest in MFC. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, with WWE being the acquirer for accounting purposes. The pre-acquisition financial statements (December 31 year end) of the accounting acquirer, WWE, became the historical financial statements of the combined companies and the historical financial statements of MFC for the periods prior to the date of the transaction (February 28 fiscal year end) are not presented. This transaction was accounted for as the issuance of common stock by WWE for the net monetary assets of MFC, accompanied by a recapitalization to reflect the legally issued and outstanding shares of the combined companies. Pre-acquisition stockholders’ equity of WWE was retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares of MFC received by WWE stockholders in the acquisition, with differences between the par value of MFC and WWE’s stock recorded as additional paid in capital.

Simultaneous with the Closing on November 29, 2005, and continuing through December 30, 2005, WWE, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, engaged in a Private Offering to “accredited investors” of a total subscription of 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s 10% convertible preferred stock (convertible into 2,410,000 shares of common stock) for $2,410,000, and warrants to purchase 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock.

The Company operates two business segments consisting of the direct response marketing business and the development and rental of real estate in New York and Connecticut.  The Company, through other subsidiaries, is in the process of liquidating the discontinued operations of MFC’s former medical division. The real estate and discontinued operations were acquired from MFC at the Closing on November 29, 2005 and are not included in the historical financial statements prior to that date.

On August 7, 2006, MFC filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on August 1, 2006, the Company closed its purchase of certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc., pursuant to the purchase agreement described in MFC’s Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2006. MFC, through a newly formed subsidiary, Adsouth Marketing LLC, acquired assets comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships.

The purchase price for the assets included a cash and stock component. The cash component was the payment of $1,525,000 at closing; subject to adjustment after closing based on the actual value of certain Adsouth assets. The cash component was paid by delivery of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,525,000 (the “Adsouth Note”).    

The stock component of the purchase price was paid by issuance of 5.5 million shares of MFC’s common stock (the “Adsouth Shares”), 750,000 shares of which are being held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of Adsouth.

The results of operations from Adsouth’s consumer products division prior to August 1, 2006 are not indicative of the results of future operations of this division because of new management directives from the Company as compared to the prior owners of this division.

On August 7, 2006, MFC filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on August 2, 2006, the Company closed a financing transaction in which it sold 10% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to Gottbetter Capital Partners, LLC (“Gottbetter”) to raise $5,775,400 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated thereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Company received $2,887,700 upon closing, and will receive another $2,887,700 on the date the registration statement is filed pursuant to Investors Registration Rights Agreement dated thereof between the Company and Gottbetter (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), provided that the Company’s Board of Directors shall have consented, subject to shareholder approval, to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to at least 100,000,000 shares. The Notes are convertible from time to time at the option of Gottbetter into the common stock of the Company at the price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP, for the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date but in no event lower than a floor price of $0.69 (the “Conversion Price”). Gottbetter may not convert the Notes or exercise the Warrant (as defined below) if such conversion or exercise would result in Gottbetter, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has an option to redeem a portion or all of the outstanding principle convertible Notes with the redemption price being the greater of (i) one hundred and twenty-five percent



28



(125%) of the face amount redeemed plus accrued interest and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the (x) product of the remaining conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price (not less than a $1.00) in effect on the trading day before the Company’s redemption notice is sent and (y) the closing sale price on the trading day before the Company redemption notice is sent.

The Company and its subsidiaries granted Gottbetter a security interest in certain of its assets pursuant to a Security Agreement dated July 31, 2006 between the Company and Gottbetter (the “Security Agreement”). The Company shall pay a commitment fee equal to 6.5% of the total purchase price of the Notes of which $187,700 was paid on August 2, 2006 upon the funding of $2,887,700 of the Notes. Gottbetter also received a five-year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Warrant”).

The securities issued in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and until so registered the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration. The offering requires the Company to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933 all of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Notes pursuant to an the Registration Rights Agreement.

Components of Revenue and Gross Profit

Sources of Revenue

Direct Response Marketing

The Company’s direct response marketing business is conducted through WWE and its affiliates, the historical business of the Company after the Closing. WWE is a direct marketing and branding company specializing in health, beauty, fitness and home consumer products.  WWE is in the business of building product brands and believes that it has found a successful formula that combines creativity and strategic analysis to optimize sales opportunities and profitability in this marketing space. Typically, WWE obtains the exclusive worldwide marketing, distribution and manufacturing license rights to a particular product from its inventor or a business representative and develops the product brand through innovative marketing campaigns utilizing the Internet, television, and print media, ultimately leveraging its retail and international distribution channels for sales directly to consumers or for sales to downstream business customers. WWE also earns revenue from shipping and handling fees and by providing customer lists to third parties for a fee. Net sales are determined by subtracting an allowance for returns from gross product sales and list sales.

WWE seeks to distinguish itself from other direct response marketing companies through the development of products that create a long term annuity stream of revenue through what WWE refers to as “Continuity” programs. Through WWE’s Continuity programs, customers repurchase a particular product monthly or bi-monthly for up to 30 months or more, thus maximizing the initial media investment to acquire that particular customer.

Real Estate

All real estate property held for rental, development and sale were acquired in connection with the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005. No revenues were included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prior to November 29, 2005.  Revenues in the real estate division vary substantially from period to period depending on when a particular transaction closes and depending on whether the closed transaction is recognized for accounting purposes as a sale, or is reflected as a financing, or is deferred to a future period.

Hunter, New York

Yolo Equities Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary (“Yolo”), holds a mortgage on a real estate parcel and previously owned a 65-acre real estate parcel in Hunter, New York.

The 65-acre parcel, which was subject to a contract for sale, dated November 23, 2005, was sold on March 27, 2006, (the “Land Closing”). The property was sold to Mountaintrail at Hunter, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Mountaintrail”) for $900,000.  Mountaintrail is owned: (a) 51.67% by Yolo at Hunter, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“YoloH”), (b) 35.00% by Trailside Inroads, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Trailside”) (100% owned by Lester Tanner (the former Chairman, President, and CEO of the Company and President of Yolo through April 19, 2006, and a stockholder of the Company) and his affiliates), and  (c) 13.33% by Lester Tanner and affiliates.



29



The selling price of $900,000 was paid to Yolo as follows: (a) $380,000 from Mountaintrail, and (b) the receipt by Yolo of a 51.67% membership interest in Mountaintrail, through YoloH, valued at $520,000.

As of December 31, 2005, YoloH was owned 100% by Yolo. In March 2006, Yolo sold 49.84% of its membership interest in YoloH to affiliates of Mr. Tanner for $309,000, leaving Yolo with a balance of 50.16% ownership interest in YoloH, valued at $211,000, which is included in investment in unconsolidated subsidiary. On April 11, 2006, Yolo entered into an agreement with Mr. Tanner, which closed on April 19, 2006, to sell the remaining 50.16% interest in YoloH to him for $211,000. The Company’s basis in the property was $900,000, and therefore, Yolo recorded no gain or loss on the sale. The Company’s management believes that terms of sale of the 65 acre parcel, including, without limitation, the sale price, are as fair as could have been obtained from an unaffiliated party in an arm’s length transaction.

See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

East Granby, Connecticut

The Company owns a forty-nine (49%) percent interest in Gateway Granby, LLC (“Granby”) a limited liability company that owns and operates an office building in East Granby, Connecticut. The office building contains approximately 52,000 square feet of rentable space and is located on 7.7 developable acres. Simultaneous to the Closing on November 29, 2005, the Company entered into an irrevocable proxy and agreement with certain members of the limited liability company who are stockholders of MFC, which agreement gives the Company voting and operational control of the limited liability company so long as the Company maintains its ownership interest in the limited liability company. Due to such voting control, Granby is consolidated with MFC, and the minority voting interests are recorded separately.

Costs of Goods Sold

Direct Response Marketing

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of (1) the landed costs of the finished goods received from third-party manufacturing partners, (2) fees to out-sourced call and fulfillment centers, which includes order processing, shipping and storage charges, freight charges for shipping to customers, and customer service, (3) royalties paid to the inventors of products, and (4) credit card processing fees.

Real Estate

All real estate property held for rental, development and sale were acquired in connection with the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005. No costs of sales were included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prior to November 29, 2005. All operating expenses of the office building in East Granby, Connecticut are included in general and administrative expenses from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2006.

Components of Operating Expenses  


Selling Expenses

Selling expenses are the largest component of WWE’s cost structure and primarily consist of media expenditures and out-sourced infomercial production costs. The largest component of selling expenses is the cost of TV and Internet media.

General and Administrative Expenses

Direct Response Marketing

The largest component of general and administrative expenses is administrative employment costs and executive salaries that have not been allocated to corporate overhead. Other significant general and administrative expenses include liability insurance, legal fees, occupancy, and telecommunications costs.

Real Estate



30



General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate taxes, utilities and maintenance attributable to the office building in East Granby, Connecticut that was acquired in connection with the reverse merger on November 29, 2005.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses consist of the direct costs of being a public company and the costs attributable to new business development. These costs are primarily attributable to an allocation of: (i) employment costs of executive officers and other employees whose services are directly related to the management of the public company and new business development, and (ii) professional fess. The Company expects that corporate expenses will increase as additional senior management personnel are hired to oversee the anticipated growth of the Company and to comply with the requirements of being a public company.   

Bad debts

The significant component of bad debt expense is when WWE ships a product with multiple credit payment terms, consisting of future credit card charges. If the future charges are ultimately denied, the Company will incur a bed debt expense.

Components of Other Items


Interest Expense, net

This item is recorded net of insignificant amounts of interest income.

Direct Response Marketing

Interest expense is primarily attributable to a loan from an individual during 2005, part of which was converted to equity in connection with the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005.

Real Estate

Interest expense from real estate consists of debt acquired from MFC’s real estate operations, in connection with the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005. This debt includes the following:

Mortgage payable, office building

The East Granby Property is owned subject to a mortgage, with an outstanding principal balance of $2,110,000 at June 30, 2006. The interest rate is 5.53 % through December 31, 2007.  Thereafter, the interest rate changes every five years based upon the Index plus 275 basis points.  The Index is the yield for United States Government Securities Five (5) Year Treasury Constant Maturities as described by the Federal Reserve System in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H-15(519). Under the terms of the note, the principal balance of the mortgage will be reduced by approximately $139,000 before the interest rate change takes effect on December 31, 2007.

On July 13, 2006, the Company completed the closing of a $1,100,000 second mortgage financing on the East Granby Property. The mortgage note matures on August 1, 2009, with an interest rate of 12.5% per annum.

Bank loan

Gateway Granby, LLC, (“Granby”) which owns the East Granby office building has an outstanding bank loan with a balance of $112,000 at June 30, 2006. The interest rate is 7.2%, and the monthly payment is $10,580 per month for principal plus interest, until the loan is fully amortized in May 2007.

Tenant improvement loan

Pursuant to the lease with Jack Henry and Associates, Inc. (“Jack Henry”), Granby is obligated to reimburse Jack Henry for a construction allowance of $100,000 for tenant improvements completed in 2005. Granby made a principal payment of $17,353 in May 2006. The remaining balance will be amortized by monthly payments of principal in the amount of $4,682 along with accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum through October 15, 2007. If Jack Henry completes additional tenant



31



improvements in 2006, the monthly payments and interest will increase to an amount to be determined if and when the final construction is completed.

Corporate

Series A and B Bonds were included in the net assets of MFC acquired in connection with the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005. In accordance with terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Series A and B Bondholders have the right to convert their Bonds into common stock at the rate of $1 per share. In February 2006, $100,000 of Series B Bonds were converted into 100,000 shares of common stock. Interest on both of the Series A and Series B bonds is calculated at a rate of prime plus 3% but not less than 9% per annum nor more than 15% per annum. The rate of interest will be adjusted at the end of each calendar quarter. As of June 30, 2006, the prime rate was 8.25% and the interest rate on these bonds was increased to 11.25% for the following quarter.

Subsequent Financing

Business Acquisition: On August 1, 2006, the Company closed its purchase of certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc., pursuant to the purchase agreement described in MFC’s Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2006. MFC, through a newly formed subsidiary, Adsouth Marketing LLC, acquired assets comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships.

The purchase price for the assets included a cash and stock component. The cash component was the payment of $1,525,000 at closing; subject to adjustment after closing based on the actual value of certain Adsouth assets. The cash component was paid by delivery of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,525,000 (the “Adsouth Note”).    

MFC was required to pay 50% of the outstanding principal of the Adsouth Note upon receipt of funds from its lender and therefore paid $381,250 of the principal on the Adsouth Note on August 2, 2006 and expects, on the closing of the second half of its financing, to pay $381,250 of principal to meet this obligation. At the time of the second payment of $381,250, the $762,500 balance will be amortized over a twenty-four month period, with interest and $22,875 in principal payable monthly. Twelve months from such date, an additional $213,500 of principal shall be due. After six months, the Adsouth Note may be converted into shares of MFC’s common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Adsouth Note.

Convertible Debt Financing and Warrants: On August 2, 2006, the Company closed a financing transaction in which it sold 10% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to Gottbetter Capital Partners, LLC (“Gottbetter”) to raise $5,775,400 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated thereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Company received $2,887,700 upon closing, and will receive another $2,887,700 on the date the registration statement is filed pursuant to Investors Registration Rights Agreement dated thereof between the Company and Gottbetter (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), provided that the Company’s Board of Directors shall have consented, subject to shareholder approval, to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to at least one hundred million (100,000,000). The initial Note matures on July 31, 2009. The Notes require monthly interest-only payments for the first eight months and equal monthly payments of principal and interest thereafter through the balance of the 36 month term of the Notes. Gottbetter also received a five-year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Warrant”).

Minority Voting Interest in Net Income of Subsidiary

The Company owns a forty-nine (49%) percent interest in Gateway Granby, LLC (“Granby”) a limited liability company that owns and operates an office building in East Granby, Connecticut. Simultaneous to the Closing on November 29, 2005 the Company has entered into an irrevocable proxy and agreement with certain members of the limited liability company who are stockholders of MFC, which agreement gives the Company voting and operational control of the limited liability company so long as the Company maintains its ownership interest in the limited liability company. Due to such voting control, Granby is consolidated with MFC, and the minority voting interests (51%) are recorded separately.

Income taxes

Prior to the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005, WWE was incorporated as a pass-through entity and, therefore, did not record income tax expense for federal purposes, and was subject to a reduced California tax rate of 1.5% as an S-Corporation.  The State of California charges an $800 tax as well as an LLC fee that is based on gross receipts.



32



MFC has allowable net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards for Federal purposes of approximately $5,615,000. These losses are the amount of pre-merger losses allowable to be carried forward by Internal Revenue Code statute. The annual carry-forwards are limited to $281,000 per year. Any unused amount of the annual allowable losses may be carried forward to future periods. The Company incurred additional taxable losses from November 29, 2005 through December 31, 2005 of $493,000. The Company's taxable loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is approximately $2,594,000. These losses will be available for future years, expiring through December 31, 2026. The Company, however, has taken a 66% valuation allowance against Federal NOL carry-forwards due to the uncertainty of generating enough taxable income throughout the carry-forward period to utilize the full amount available.

Discontinued Operations

The remaining receivables from the former medical financing business, conducted through various subsidiaries of MFC, were included in the net assets that were acquired in the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005, MFC sold its continuing service obligations related to these receivables and the future revenue rights of its medical financing business in exchange for preferential collection rates on the receivables that are expected to be collected. An estimated reserve for future collection costs has been established as of November 29, 2005. The Company will still incur certain employment costs, through part of 2006. Occupancy costs related to MFC’s New Rochelle, New York office are also allocated to discontinued operations. The lease expires in February 2007, and is not expected to be renewed.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and areas that require the most significant judgments and estimates to be used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment against goodwill, valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset, and revenue recognition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable

WWE extends credit to customers and performs credit evaluations in the ordinary course of business.

Mortgage and note receivable

The Company evaluates the credit positions on its notes receivable and the value of the related collateral on an ongoing basis. The Company estimates that all of its notes receivable are fully collectible and the value of the collateral is in excess of the related receivables. The Company continually evaluates its notes receivable that are past due as to the collectibility of principal and interest. The Company considers the financial condition of the debtor, the outlook of the debtor's industry, decrease in the ratio of collateral values to loans, and any prior write-downs on loans. The above considerations are all used in determining whether the Company should suspend recording interest income on any notes receivable or provide for any loss reserves.

Finance receivables (discontinued assets)

Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the customer's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, the outlook of the debtor's industry, and current economic conditions. When the Company estimates that a specific customer’s account may be uncollectible, that balance is included in the reserve calculation. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents acquisition costs in excess of the net assets acquired in connection with the reverse merger on November 29, 2005. The excess of the costs in excess of the assets are related to the benefits WWE derived from MFC being a



33



publicly traded company. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” goodwill is no longer amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company periodically evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred indicating the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.


The provisions of SFAS 142 require that a two-step impairment test be performed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The first step of the test for impairment compares the book value of the Company’s reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, which is only required when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, compares the implied fair value of goodwill to its book value to determine if an impairment is required.


Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and will be tested more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.  An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. When factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company compares the current market value of the MFC stock compared to the negotiated value that was attributable to it in the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005, to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized.

Deferred Tax Assets

Income taxes are accounted for using a balance sheet approach in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The Company accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory tax rates in effect at the date of the balance sheet to differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance, the Company considers projected realization of tax benefits, book and taxable income trends, available tax strategies and the overall deferred tax position.

Revenue Recognition

Direct Response

Revenues are recognized when the product is shipped or picked up by the customer. Provisions for discounts to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the sales are recorded.  The return estimates are based on historical records.  When no historical records of returns exist for a new product, revenue recognition is delayed until an accurate estimate of returns can be determined.

Real Estate

The full accrual method is used on the sale of real estate if the profit is determinable, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit, and there is no continuing involvement with the property. If the buyer's initial and continuing investments are inadequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the installment method is used, resulting in the deferral of income. If there is continuing involvement with the property by the Company, the financing method is used.

Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An Amendment of FASB No. 133 and 140. The purpose of SFAS statement No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of any entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to year ended December 31, 2004




34



As a result of the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005, the pre-acquisition financial statements (December 31 year end) of the accounting acquirer, WWE, became the historical financial statements of the combined companies and the historical financial statements of MFC for the periods prior to the date of the acquisition (February 28 fiscal year end) are not presented. This transaction was accounted for as the issuance of common stock by WWE for the net monetary assets of MFC, accompanied by a recapitalization to reflect the legally issued and outstanding shares of the combined companies. Pre-acquisition stockholders’ equity of WWE was retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares of MFC received by WWE stockholders in the acquisition, with differences between the par value of MFC and WWE’s stock recorded as additional paid in capital.

Revenues and Gross Profit

Direct Response Marketing

Net Sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005”) were approximately $8.0 million, a decrease of $12.5 million, or 61%, compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004”) of approximately $20.5 million. The decrease in net sales was due to declining revenues from older product campaigns that were nearing the end of their life cycles and where funding was not available to launch new products in the pipeline.  In addition, WWE did not have the requisite funds to increase Internet media spending for its beauty products, where initial losses are in incurred in order to generate future profitable revenue streams thereby allowing WWE to expand its Continuity programs. Additionally, the lack of funds did not allow WWE to purchase new inventory for some existing product lines, nor allow it to make investments in new product launches.

Funds from previous product successes were distributed to the prior owners of Oldco and not retained by WWE to fund future growth after July 1, 2004, at the time when WWE acquired certain assets and rights to market and distribute various products from Oldco. WWE obtained partial new funding in November and December of 2005; too late to impact 2005 revenues.  In addition, the Company lost its license to utilize the Botopical brand name, necessitating the relaunching of a new product brand called Youth Factor. The combined sales of those two brands decreased by approximately $9.0 million in 2005 compared to 2004.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in 2005 was approximately $4.3 million, a decrease of $8.1 million, or 66%, compared to gross profit in 2004 of approximately $12.4 million. The decrease in gross profit was due to both a reduction in net sales as detailed above and lower profit margins on products that were sold in 2005, compared to those sold in 2004. Gross profit margins decreased primarily due to the launching of Youth Factor Beauty Care brand in 2005.  A new brand launch typically has lower margins due to higher costs associated with acquiring new customers.

Real Estate

The Company acquired the real estate activities of MFC on November 29, 2005. The revenue from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2005 was approximately $70,000, which was primarily rental income from the office building in East Granby, Connecticut.

Selling Expenses

Direct Response Marketing

Selling expenses in 2005 were approximately $4.0 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 54%, compared to selling expenses in 2004 of approximately $8.8 million. Media spending for TV was $4.7 million less in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of the elimination of products in 2005.  The decrease in TV media was offset by a $460,000 increase in Internet media spending in accordance with the Company’s new business model. Infomercial production costs decreased in 2005 due to the production of a two minute beauty care product show, compared to the production of a 30 minute fitness product show in 2004.

Real Estate

The Company did not incur any selling expenses after the acquisition of MFC’s real estate business on November 29, 2005.

General and Administrative Expenses

Direct Response Marketing and Real Estate

General and administrative expenses in 2005 were approximately $2.2 million, an increase of $100,000, or 4%, compared to general and administrative expenses in 2004 of approximately $2.1 million. The increase in 2005 was due to an increase in employment costs as a result of replacing temporary labor with three full time employees.

General and administrative expenses from real estate activities were $45,000 from the acquisition of MFC on November 29, 2005 through December 31, 2005. These expenses primarily consisted of operating expenses of the office building in East Granby, Connecticut.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses in 2005 were approximately $359,000, compared to $-0- in 2004. Corporate expenses consist of the costs of being a public company and the costs attributable to new business development. These costs are primarily attributable to an allocation of employment costs of executive officers and other employees whose services are directly related to the management of the public company and new business development. None of these costs were incurred prior to 2005.

Bad Debts

Direct Response Marketing

Bad debt expense in 2005 was $45,000, an increase of $72,000, compared to bad debt recoveries in 2004 of $27,000. The gross amount of bad debt expense in 2004 was $68,000. There were no significant recoveries in 2005. Without considering the effect of the recoveries received in 2004, gross bad debt expense decreased in 2005 by $23,000. The decrease was due to the decrease in sales from 2004 to 2005.

Real Estate



36



There was no bad debt expense in the real estate business acquired from MFC during the period from the date of acquisition on November 29, 2005 through December 31, 2005.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2005 was $280,000, compared to interest expense of $-0- in 2004. In 2005, $265,000 was related to the direct response business, and $15,000 was related to interest expense from November 29, 2005 through December 31, 2005 on debts that were acquired from MFC. Interest from the direct response business was due to the short term financing that was required in stages, from April 2005 until the Closing on November 29, 2005.  Included in the cost of short term financing is $226,000, which is the fair value of 926,500 warrants to purchase common stock that were issued to bridge noteholders, and various creditors and vendors,  as additional consideration to extend credit.

The major component of interest expense from MFC debts was $10,000 of mortgage interest on the office building in East Granby, Connecticut, and $4,000 of interest paid on the $450,000 balance of Series A and Series B Bonds.  

Minority Voting Interest in Net Income of Subsidiary

Minority voting interests in net income of subsidiary in 2005 was $6,000, compared to $-0- in both 2004 and 2003. The amount in 2005 represents the amount due to the minority voting interests of Gateway Granby, LLC, from the date of acquisition of Granby on November 29, 2005 through December 31, 2005.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations in 2005 was $34,000. The loss in 2005 is due to the activities of the discontinued operations that was acquired from MFC, for the period from November 29, 2005 through December 3, 2005.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss in 2005 was approximately $2.6 million, compared to net income in 2004 of approximately $1.5 million. The decrease in net income of $4.1 million is primarily due to the $12.5 million decease in sales, and the resulting $8.1 million decrease in gross profit, offset by the $4.8 million decrease in selling expenses.

37



net increase in sales for the six months ended in 2006 as compared to the six months ended in 2005 was due to the launch of two new products in 2006, Pet Vac, a pet grooming product, and Hercules Hook, a household product. Pet Vac sales were $1,320,000 and Hercules Hook sales were $343,000. The increase in sales from the new products were offset by a decrease in sales from its existing products. Sales of the Company’s beauty product lines were lower during the six months ended in 2006 by $676,000 as compared to the six months ended in 2005 as the sales for the first six months of 2005 were primarily related to continuity sales of a product line that was discontinued at the end of fiscal 2004.  Sales of the Company’s fitness products were lower by $135,000 for the six months ended in 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005, as the sales during first six months of 2005 were primarily related to a fitness product that was discontinued during the first quarter of 2005. The sales of fitness products during the six months ended in 2006 were related to the Body Burner product which was launched during the second quarter of 2005.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 (“Q2 2006”) were approximately $2,176,000 which represents an increase of $391,000, or 22%, compared to net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 (“Q2 2005”) of approximately $1,785,000. The net increase in sales during Q2 2006 as compared to Q2 2005 was due to the launch of two new products in 2006, Pet Vac, a pet grooming product, and Hercules Hook, a household product. Pet Vac sales were $523,000 and Hercules Hook sales were $343,000. The increase in sales from the new products were offset by a decrease in sales from its existing products.  Sales of the Company’s beauty product lines were lower by $177,000 during Q2 2006 as compared to Q2 2005 due to a decrease in sales of the Company’s discontinued beauty product line of $423,000 that was offset by an increase in the Company’s new beauty product line of $246,000. Sales of the Company’s fitness products were lower by $66,000 during Q2 2006 as compared to Q2 2005 due to sales of $223,000 for the discontinued fitness product that were offset by an increase in sales of the Body Burner of $157,000.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended in 2006 was approximately $3,196,000, which represents an increase of $76,000, or 2%, compared to gross profit for the six months ended in 2005 of approximately $3,120,000. The increase in gross profit was due to an increase in net sales as detailed above which was offset by lower profit margins on products that were sold during the first six months of  2006, compared to those sold during the first six months of 2005. The gross profit margin was 55% for the six months ended in 2006, compared to 58% for the six months ended in 2005. The lower gross profit percentage in 2006 as compared to 2005 was due to the write down of inventory based on management’s decision to discontinue marketing the Body Burner fitness product in order to focus on products with higher gross profit margins. The lower gross profit from Body Burner was offset by an increase in gross profit margins for the Company’s beauty product lines due to a higher percentage of the revenue coming from continuity sales which have a lower cost than the initial sale which includes additional costs to obtain a new customer. Customer service costs were also lower for the six months ended in 2006 for the beauty product lines as some of the revenue generated during the six months ended in 2005 where associated with a print campaign that had a higher costs for customer service.  

Gross profit for Q2 2006 was approximately $1,041,000 which represents a decrease of $82,000, or 7%, compared to the gross profit for Q2 2005 of approximately $1,123,000. Although sales were higher for Q2 2006 over Q2 2005, the gross margin was lower due to a higher cost of sales as a percent of revenue. The gross profit percentage for Q2 2006 was 48% as compared to 63% for Q2 2005. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was due to an increase in costs of $55,000 to ship products to the Company’s customers due to the bankruptcy of a major industry freight consolidator. In addition, the gross profit margin for Q2 2006 was lower than Q2 2005 for the Body Burner product due to a $115,000 write down of inventory based on management’s decision to discontinue marketing the product in order to focus on products with higher gross profit margins. The write down was comprised of the freight-in on units that were returned to the manufacturer and the cost of units that were given free to the customers who purchased the Body Burner.

Selling expenses were also higher during both the six month and three month periods ended in 2006 as compared to the same periods ended in 2005 due to the costs incurred with consulting under the “Lezinksi Asset Purchase and Consulting Agreement”, which began in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increases in selling expense were offset by decreases selling expenses in the Company’s beauty product lines during both periods ended in 2006 as compared to the same periods ended in 2005 due to increased revenue generated from continuity sales that does not have any associated advertising cost.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to WWE being formed on July 1, 2004, Oldco (defined below) funded operations primarily through cash flow from operations and owner financing.  Prior to July 1, 2004, funds generated from successful product ‘hits’ were distributed to Oldco owners and were not available to fund future growth.  Effective July 1, 2004, WWE was formed and acquired certain assets and rights to market and distribute various products (“Asset Purchase and Consulting Agreement”) of Abrev, LLC, BATM, LLC, Buckhead Marketing & Distribution, LLC, Botopical, LLC, Buca, LLC, PAP Systems, LLC, and Ryan, LLC (collectively, ”Oldco”).



41



The Company’s management believes that the loss for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2006 was due to increased TV media costs, lack of funding during fiscal 2005 to purchase inventory for sale in 2006 and to launch new products in the pipeline. In addition, WWE did not have the requisite funds to increase Internet media spending during fiscal 2005 for its beauty products, where initial losses are incurred in order to generate future profitable revenue streams, thereby allowing WWE to expand its Continuity programs into the current and future periods. WWE expects to increase its infrastructure and operating expenditures in connection with carrying out its future business strategy.

WWE’s business model is to distinguish itself from other direct marketing companies through the development of additional products that create a long term annuity stream of revenue through what WWE refers to as “Continuity” programs. Through WWE’s Continuity programs, customers repurchase a particular product monthly or bi-monthly for up to 30 months or more, thus maximizing the initial media investment to acquire that particular customer. In a Continuity program, WWE has the ability to “buy” customers, accepting a financial loss on the initial sales, because the subsequent continuity shipments will generate the required profits, and build a ‘brand’. The most significant difference between the initial sale and the continuity sale is the lack of two major cost elements for the continuity sale – media and telemarketing.

WWE will continue to need capital to execute such a Continuity program. The primary requirement is the ability to finance the operating losses incurred in the initial execution phase of a program that generates negative cash flow during the first two to four months of the program.

WWE has other financial requirements for its products, whether it is a one-time product or a Continuity product.  Before a product is ever marketed, WWE may have to expend funds to produce an infomercial which includes production and testing costs. Testing costs include acquiring media to conduct the test over a period of months until the show is ‘perfected’ in order to optimize customer response. WWE is generally given short credit terms on the purchase of its media. In addition, WWE must be able to order and pay for the product inventory in most cases from three to ten weeks in advance of any revenue generation.

In order to meet these needs, on July 29, 2005, WWE and MFC entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 100% of WWE’s outstanding capital stock in exchange for shares of common stock of MFC. In connection with that acquisition, WWE sought to raise additional capital through convertible securities in a private placement. On November 29, 2005, MFC completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of WWE.

Simultaneous with the Closing on November 29, 2005, and continuing through December 30, 2005, WWE, engaged in a Private Offering to “accredited investors” of a total subscription of 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s 10% convertible preferred stock (convertible into 2,410,000 shares of common stock) for $2,410,000, and warrants to purchase 1,210,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock.

On June 30, 2006, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,606,000. The Company used the cash proceeds from the sale of the 65 acre parcel of land that was sold in Hunter, New York to partially fund the losses from operations since December 31, 2005. The proceeds from the sale, and our existing cash balances were not sufficient to pay all of our vendors in accordance with their invoice terms. The Company was able to temporarily restructure the due dates of certain outstanding invoices until it obtained additional financing subsequent to June 30, 2006.


Financing Obtained Subsequent to June 30, 2006

On July 13, 2006, the Company completed the closing of the second mortgage financing from its subsidiary, Gateway Granby, LLC. Gateway then distributed approximately $490,000 to the Company.

On August 2, 2006, the Company closed a financing transaction in which it sold 10% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to Gottbetter Capital Partners, LLC (“Gottbetter”) to raise $5,775,400 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated thereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Company received $2,887,700 upon closing, and will receive another $2,887,700 on the date the registration statement is filed pursuant to Investors Registration Rights Agreement dated thereof between the Company and Gottbetter (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), provided that the Company’s Board of Directors shall have consented, subject to shareholder approval, to increase it’s authorized shares of Common Stock to at least one hundred million (100,000,000). The initial Note matures on July 31, 2009. The Notes require monthly interest-only payments for the first eight months and equal monthly payments of principal and interest thereafter through the balance of the 36 month term of the Notes. The Notes are convertible from time to time at the option of Gottbetter into the common stock of the Company at the price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s



42



common stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP, for the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date but in no event lower than a floor price of $0.69 (the “Conversion Price”). Gottbetter may not convert the Notes or exercise the Warrant (as defined below) if such conversion or exercise would result in Gottbetter, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has an option to redeem a portion or all of the outstanding principle convertible Notes with the redemption price being the greater of (i) one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the face amount redeemed plus accrued interest and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the (x) product of the remaining conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price (not less than a $1.00) in effect on the trading day before the Company’s redemption notice is sent and (y) the closing sale price on the trading day before the Company redemption notice is sent.

The Company and its subsidiaries granted Gottbetter a security interest in certain of its assets pursuant to a Security Agreement dated July 31, 2006 between the Company and Gottbetter (the “Security Agreement”). The Company shall pay a commitment fee equal to 6.5% of the total purchase price of the Notes of which $187,700 was paid on August 2, 2006 upon the funding of $2,887,700 of the Notes. Gottbetter also received a five-year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the “Warrant”).

Business Acquisition Subsequent to June 30, 2006

On August 1, 2006, the Company closed its purchase of certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc., pursuant to the purchase agreement described in MFC’s Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2006. MFC, through a newly formed subsidiary, Adsouth Marketing LLC, acquired assets comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships. Adsouth’s product distribution network includes more than 20 retail and wholesale customers providing access to over 18,000 retail locations throughout the country.

The purchase price for the assets included a cash and stock component. The cash component was the payment of $1,525,000 at closing; subject to adjustment after closing based on the actual value of certain Adsouth assets. The cash component was paid by delivery of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,525,000 (the “Adsouth Note”).    

MFC was required to pay 50% of the outstanding principal of the Adsouth Note upon receipt of funds from its lender and therefore paid $381,250 of the principal on the Adsouth Note on August 2, 2006 and expects, on the closing of the second half of its financing, to pay $381,250 of principal to meet this obligation. At the time of the second payment of $381,250, the $762,500 balance will be amortized over a twenty-four month period, with interest and $22,875 in principal payable monthly. Twelve months from such date, an additional $213,500 of principal shall be due. After six months, the Adsouth Note may be converted into shares of MFC’s common stock, pursuant to the following terms of the Adsouth Note.

1.

The holder of the Adsouth Note has the right to convert the note to common stock of MFC, only if the Company does not pay 50% of the original principal amount of the Adsouth Note, together with accrued interest, before January 20, 2007, or unless an Event of Default shall occur.   

2.

At any such time as MFC has made 50% payment of the original principal amount of the Adsouth Note, the Company shall have the right to force conversion of the Adsouth Note into common stock of MFC by issuing to the holder of  such number of shares of common stock determined by dividing one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the total amount of principal and interest being converted pursuant by the $.80 per share; provided, however, that the Company shall only exercise this right if, at such the time of such exercise, the shares of Common Stock to be so issued shall be subject to a current and effective registration statement or all of such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, or any subsequent similar rule.

The stock component of the purchase price was paid by issuance of 5.5 million shares of MFC’s common stock (the “Adsouth Shares”), 750,000 shares of which are being held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of Adsouth. MFC has granted Adsouth “piggy-back” registration rights and one “demand” registration in the event the Adsouth Shares are not included in a registration filed within ninety days of issuance of the Adsouth Shares. The Company expects to register the Adsouth Shares, along with other shares, in a registration filing on Form SB-2 pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by MFC in connection with the convertible note financing.

The Company believes that its present cash resources and the cash available from the Gottbetter convertible debt financing will be sufficient on a short-term basis and over the next 12 months to fund its existing business activities, including



43



the retail distribution business it acquired from Adsouth on August 1, 2006, its company-wide working capital needs, and its expected investments in property and equipment. Under the terms of the Gottbetter convertible debt, the Company may utilize up to $2,000,000 of its assets as collateral for other financing activities.

Year ended December 31, 2005 compared to year ended December 31, 2004

Cash used by operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005”) was $2,355,000, as compared to $591,000 being used during the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004”). The $1,764,000 net increase in cash used by operations in 2005 was due to a decrease in earnings of $3,796,000, net of adjustments for non-cash-items of $311,000, offset by fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities, primarily caused by timing differences.

Cash provided by investing activities was $135,000 in 2005 as compared to $15,000 being used in 2004. The increase in cash being provided in 2005 was primarily due to the cash acquired from MFC on November 29, 2005, offset by the direct costs $126,000 related to the MFC acquisition.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,576,000 in 2005 as compared with $290,000 being provided in 2004. The $2,286,000 increase in cash being provided in 2005 was primarily due to the increase in net borrowings and the net proceeds from the Private Placement in connection with the Closing on November 29, 2005.

Six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to six months ended June 30, 2005

Cash provided by operations for the six moths ended June 30, 2006 (“2006”) was $82,000, as compared to $343,000 being used for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (“2005”). The $425,000 net increase in cash provided by operations in 2006 was due to (i) the proceeds from the sale of real estate of $895,000, (ii) increases in accounts payable balances of $1,025,000 in 2006, compared to an increase of $66,000 in 2005, (iii) proceeds from the collection of mortgage and notes receivable of $147,000, (iv) a decrease in capitalized infomercial costs of $260,000 in 2006 compared to an increase of  $142,000 in 2005, and (v) a reduction in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $72,000 in 2006 compared to an increase of $52,000 in 2005. The increases in cash were offset by (i) a decrease in earnings of $2,096,000, net of adjustments for non-cash-items of $130,000, and (ii) a reduction of inventory of $14,000 in 2006 compared to a reduction of $276,000 in 2005.

Cash used by investing activities was $32,000 in 2006 as compared to $21,000 being used in 2005. The $11,000 increase in cash being used in 2006 was primarily due the $30,000 distribution paid to minority interests in subsidiary, offset by a $20,000 decrease in the acquisition of fixed assets in 2006 compared to 2005.

Net cash used by financing activities was $188,000 in 2006 as compared with $398,000 being provided in 2005. The $586,000 increase in cash being used in 2006 was primarily due to (i) net debt repayments of $187,000 in 2006 compared to net borrowings of $500,000 in 2005, and (ii) additional costs in 2006 that were related to the Private Placement in connection with the Closing on November 29, 2005, offset by a reduction of related party debt repayments of $123,000 in 2006 compared to 2005.

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

Market Information

The Company’s common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol MFCD.OB. The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated, the high and low bid prices per share of common stock, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. The information has been adjusted to reflect a 35% stock dividend of the Company’s common stock on August 24, 2005.

As a result of the accounting treatment for the acquisition on November 29, 2005 as a reverse merger, the stock price information has no relationship to the Company’s historical financial results and the Company does not believe this information provides any meaningful information concerning the performance of stock price before November 29, 2005. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Holders


As of September 1, 2006, there were approximately 1,800 holders of record of the Company’s common stock based upon the shareholders’ listing provided by the Company’s Transfer Agent.


Dividend Policy


The Company did not pay any cash dividends on its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The Company currently does not intend to pay any cash dividends on common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a stock split in the form of a 35% stock dividend on the shares of its common stock outstanding on August 8, 2005, the record date for shareholders who would be entitled to receive 35/100 of a share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, for each one share of common stock owned of record on the close of business on August 8, 2005.


Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, the results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of the 10% convertible preferred stock restricts the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock. The holders of the 10% convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends at the rate equal to 10% of the purchase price of the preferred stock payable semi-annually in arrears. The payments are in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. Payments are due May 29 and November 29 of each year. The Company may not pay any dividends on its common stock before all dividends are paid on the 10% convertible preferred stock. The first dividend payment was due on May 29, 2006. The Company elected to pay the dividend by issuing 115,961 shares of Common Stock, valued at $1.00 per share to the preferred stockholders in accordance with the terms of the valuation.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

Common Stock


The securities being offered by the selling stockholders are shares of our common stock. As of September 1, 2006, there were issued and outstanding, 21,138,751 shares of common stock.


The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends that may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Please review our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC, as well as the applicable statutes of the State of Delaware for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our shares.


The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than fifty percent of the shares of common stock voting for election of directors may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In this event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent will not be able to elect directors. Except as otherwise required by Delaware law, and subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock then outstanding, all stockholder action is taken by the vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present at a meeting of



46



stockholders at which a quorum consisting of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock is present in person or proxy.


Preferred Stock


The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, in one or more series and to fix, by resolution, conditional, full, limited or no voting powers, and the designations, preferences, the number of shares, dividend rates, conversion or exchange rights, redemption provisions or other special rights of the shares constituting any class or series as the Board of Directors may deem advisable without any further vote or action by the stockholders.  Any shares of preferred stock issued by MFC could have priority over MFC Common Stock with respect to dividends or liquidation rights and could have voting and other rights of stockholders.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock


The Company’s Board of Directors has designated 1,205,000 shares of preferred stock as 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) with a purchase price of $2.00 per share.  There are presently 1,205,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

Dividends-A holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to receive semi-annual cumulative dividends in arrears, commencing six months after the closing of the Private Placement, which was on November 29, 2005.  At its option, the Company may meet its dividend payment obligation by electing any of, or a combination of, the following options: (i) paying the cash dividend payment on or before the date due; or (ii) issuing common stock to the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock based on  the Company’s common stock being valued at the greater of (i) $1.00 or (ii) 50% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date that the applicable dividend is due and payable.


The first dividend payment was due on May 29, 2006. The Company elected to pay the dividend by issuing 115,961 shares MFC Common Stock, valued at $1.00 per share to the preferred stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Valuation in the above paragraph.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Shareholder of our Common Stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Buyers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

a combination of any such methods of sale;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the Buyer of shares, from the Buyer) in amounts to be negotiated. Each Selling Shareholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.



52



In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales and may have civil liability under Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act for any omissions or misstatements in this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Shareholder has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Shareholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each Buyer at or prior to the time of the sale.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:

 

·

for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

·

for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

·

for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

 

·

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.


In addition, our bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws). We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance.


These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant's executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

You may read and copy any reports, statements or other information the Company files at the SEC’s public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20549.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations.


The registrant’s certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors.


In addition, the registrant’s bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws). The registrant maintains director and officer liability insurance.


These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On July 21, 2005, the registrant’s Board of Directors declared a stock split in the form of a 35% stock dividend on the shares of its common stock outstanding on August 8, 2005, the record date for shareholders who were entitled to receive thirty five one hundredths (.35) of a share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, for each one share of common stock owned of record on the close of business on August 8, 2005.  The following discussion gives effect to the stock split even if the transaction reported happened prior to the August 8, 2005.


In February 2003 the registrant’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of $450,000 of Series B Bonds.  The Series B Bonds mature eighteen months after the issue date and may be extended for additional six month periods by mutual consent of the registrant and the individual bondholders.  Interest is payable monthly, and is calculated at a rate of prime plus 3% but not less than 9% per annum nor more than 15% per annum.  The rate of interest will be adjusted at the end of each calendar quarter.  Monthly interest-only payments are due through maturity.  The Series B Bonds may only be prepaid on 120 days prior written notice.  The registrant, at the option of the bondholders, may be required to prepay on 60 days prior written notice, up to an aggregate of $50,000 per bondholder per 60 day period.  The registrant relied on section 506 of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the securities, inasmuch as the securities were sold without any form of general solicitation or general advertising and sales were made only to accredited investors.


On July 7, 2005, the registrant sold 33,678 shares of its treasury stock to its Chief Financial Officer, who was also a director.  The sales price was $0.75 per share.  The registrant relied on section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the securities inasmuch as the registrant did not engage in general solicitation or advertising in making this offering and the offeree occupied an insider status relative to the registrant that afforded him effective access to the information registration would otherwise provide.

Exhibits

(a) Exhibits.

The exhibits filed with this registration statement or incorporated herein by reference are set forth on the Exhibit Index set forth elsewhere herein.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules.

Schedules filed with this registration statement are set forth on the Index to Financial Statements set forth elsewhere herein.

Item 28.

Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

2. that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remains unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

MFC Development Corp., Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MFC Development Corp., Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the consolidated financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) for the year ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MFC Development Corp., Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedules for the year ended December 31, 2005, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

MFC Development Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1. Organization of the Company


The consolidated financial statements consist of MFC Development Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company was incorporated on May 18, 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware as PSI Food Services, Inc. On August 9, 2000, the Company changed its name to MFC Development Corp. and increased authorized capital stock from 2,000,000 shares common stock, par value $.10 per share to 2,000,000 shares preferred stock, par value $.001 per share and 40,000,000 shares common stock, par value $.001 per share. On October 26, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue 1,787,500 shares of convertible preferred stock.  The Board of Directors is authorized at any time to change the rights, preferences and limitations of unissued preferred stock.

On November 29, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition (the “Closing”) of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Worldwide Excellence, Inc. (“WWE”), a Delaware corporation, in accordance with the provisions of a certain Acquisition Agreement dated as of July 29, 2005 among WWE and the Company (hereafter to be referred as “MFC” prior to the Closing and the Company as the consolidated entity after the Closing), and WWE’s stockholders. MFC acquired one hundred (100%) percent of WWE’s outstanding common stock in exchange for shares of MFC common stock.  At the closing, 11,500,000 shares of MFC’s common stock were issued to former stockholders of WWE and their designees and 710,000 shares of the MFC’s common stock were issued to a finder and its designees. On the same day, as a requirement to close the transaction, MFC note holders converted $500,000 of debt into 500,000 shares of common stock. In addition, 35,000 shares of MFC common stock were issued for payment of legal fees. The form of the MFC Acquisition Agreement was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report dated August 3, 2005.


As a result of the merger, former WWE stockholders hold a majority of the voting interest in MFC. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, with WWE being the acquirer for accounting purposes. The pre-acquisition financial statements (December 31 year end) of the accounting acquirer, WWE, became the historical financial statements of the combined companies and the historical financial statements of MFC for the periods prior to the date of the transaction (February 28 fiscal year end) are not presented. This transaction was accounted for as the issuance of common stock by WWE for the net monetary assets of MFC, accompanied by a recapitalization to reflect the legally issued and outstanding shares of the combined companies. Pre-acquisition stockholders’ equity of WWE was retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares of MFC received by WWE stockholders in the acquisition, with differences between the par value of MFC and WWE’s stock recorded as additional paid in capital.


At the Closing, MFC delivered 3,000,000 shares of MFC Common Stock to an escrow agent and delivered 600,000 shares of MFC Common Stock to the same escrow agent (collectively, the “Earn-Out Shares”) to be held under the terms of separate escrow agreements. 3,000,000 Earn-Out Shares would be released to certain former WWE stockholders and 600,000 Earn-Out Shares would be released to certain then current MFC stockholders, respectively, if WWE’s Cumulative Net Income target of $3,000,000, as defined in the applicable escrow agreement, is met by December 31, 2006. If the Cumulative Net Income target is not met by December 31, 2006, then WWE would have until March 31, 2007 to meet the Cumulative Net Income target. If the Cumulative Net Income target is not met in either circumstance, the Earn-Out Shares would be returned to the Company for cancellation. The Earn-Out Shares would first be available to satisfy any indemnification obligations of WWE or MFC, as applicable, under the MFC Acquisition Agreement. Assuming the foregoing indemnification obligations have been satisfied or released, the remaining Earn-Out Shares, if any, would be distributed to the stockholders entitled thereto.


Simultaneous with the Closing on November 29, 2005, and continuing through December 30, 2005, WWE, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, had engaged in a Private Placement Offering to “accredited investors” of a total subscription of 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s 10% convertible preferred stock (convertible into 2,410,000 shares of common stock) for $2,410,000, and warrants to purchase 1,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock.

MFC Development Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


2. Basis of Presentation


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Effective July 1, 2004, WWE acquired certain assets and rights to market and distribute various products (“Asset Purchase and Consulting Agreement”) of Abrev, LLC, BATM, LLC, Buckhead Marketing & Distribution, LLC, Botopical, LLC, Buca, LLC, PAP Systems, LLC, and Ryan, LLC (collectively "Oldco"). Oldco has been inactive since being acquired.  For the purpose of showing combined operations, the results of operations of Oldco from January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003 have been included in the combined financial statements of WWE (“Combined Financial Statements”) which are included in these consolidated financial statements.  At December 31, 2004, $346,856 was payable by WWE to Oldco for the acquisition of these assets and rights and has been eliminated in combination.

The Closing on November 29, 2005, was a triggering event that satisfied certain obligations under the Asset Purchase and Consulting Agreement. Effective as of December 31, 2004, the end of WWE’s fiscal year prior to the Closing, WWE discontinued combining Oldco’s balance sheet with its own financial statements, resulting in a reduction of equity of $221,647, which was charged to retained earnings.

The Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of Worldwide Excellence, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and the Acquired Entities, as well as Tramp-O-Lean, LLC, Botopical Beauty Care, LLC, Cellucare, LLC and Legacy Formulas, LLC, formed subsequent to July 1, 2004 and thus are included in the combined operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Effective January 26, 2005, Botopical Beauty Care, LLC changed its name to Youth Factor Beauty Care, LLC.  Collectively, all of the combined entities will be referred to as "WWE" in these consolidated financial statements.


Certain prior year balances were reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.


Business Activities of the Company

The Company operates two business segments consisting of the direct response marketing business and the development and rental of real estate in New York and Connecticut.  The Company, through other subsidiaries, is in the process of liquidating the discontinued operations of MFC’s former medical division. The real estate and discontinued operations were acquired from MFC at the Closing on November 29, 2005 and are not included in the historical financial statements prior to that date.

The Company’s direct response marketing business is conducted through WWE and its affiliates, the historical business of the Company after the Closing. WWE was incorporated in July, 2004 as a Delaware corporation under the name Buckhead Marketing & Distribution, Inc. The Company’s name was subsequently changed to Worldwide Excellence, Inc. in September 2004. WWE is a direct marketing and branding company specializing in health, beauty, fitness and home consumer products.  WWE is in the business of building product brands. Typically, WWE obtains the exclusive worldwide marketing, distribution and manufacturing license rights to a particular product from its inventor or a business representative and develops the product brand through marketing campaigns utilizing the Internet, television, and print media, ultimately leveraging its retail and international distribution channels for sales directly to consumers or for sales to downstream business customers.

On certain of WWE products, long term annuity stream of revenue has been established through what WWE refers to as “Continuity” programs. Through WWE’s Continuity programs, customers repurchase a particular product monthly or bi-monthly for up to 30 months or more, thus maximizing the initial media investment to acquire that particular customer.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


2. Basis of Presentation (continued)

The Company’s real estate business is conducted through two of MFC’s subsidiaries. Yolo Equities Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary (“Yolo”) was incorporated in October, 1992 as a New York corporation. Yolo holds a mortgage on a real estate parcel and previously owned a 65-acre real estate parcel in Hunter, New York. The property was subject to a contract of sale to Mountaintrail, as of December 31, 2005, and subsequently closed the transaction in March 2006. In accordance with the terms of the sale, through the partial ownership of various entities, the Company owned an interest in Mountaintrail of approximately 26%.  On April 19, 2006, Yolo sold the remaining 26% interest it owned in Mountaintrail, and from that date, the Company has no interest in the property. See Note 5 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for related party disclosures and details of this transaction.

The Company owns a forty-nine (49%) percent interest in Gateway Granby, LLC (“Granby”) a limited liability company that owns and operates an office building in East Granby, Connecticut. The office building contains approximately 52,000 square feet of rentable space and is located on 7.7 developable acres. Simultaneous to the Closing on November 29, 2005, the Company has entered into an irrevocable proxy and agreement with certain members of the limited liability company who are stockholders of MFC, which agreement gives the Company voting and operational control of the limited liability company so long as the Company maintains its ownership interest in the limited liability company. Due to such voting control, Granby is consolidated with MFC, and the minority voting interests are recorded separately.

Discontinued operations consists of the former medical financing business, conducted through Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which (i) purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (ii) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. MFC sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business in exchange for preferential collection rates on the receivables that are expected to be collected.

3. Significant Accounting Policies


Revenue Recognition

Direct Response Marketing

Revenues are recognized when the product is shipped or picked up by the customer. Provisions for discounts to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the sales are recorded.  The return estimates are based on historical records.  When no historical records of returns exist for a new product, revenue recognition is delayed until an accurate estimate of returns can be determined.

Real Estate

The full accrual method is used on the sale of real estate if the profit is determinable, the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit and there is no continuing involvement with the property. If the buyer's initial and continuing investments are inadequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property, the installment method is used, resulting in the deferral of income. If there is continuing involvement with the property by the Company, the financing method is used.

Rental income is recorded in the period that it is earned.

MFC Development Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Receivables

Direct Response Marketing

WWE extends credit to customers and performs credit evaluations in the ordinary course of business.

Real Estate

Mortgages and notes receivable result from the sale of real estate. These receivables bear interest and are recorded at face value, less unamortized discount.

Impairment Assessment. The Company evaluates the credit positions on its notes receivable and the value of the related collateral on an ongoing basis. The Company estimates that all of its notes receivable are fully collectible and the collateral is in excess of the related receivables. The Company continually evaluates its notes receivable that are past due as to the collectibility of principal and interest. The Company considers the financial condition of the debtor, the outlook of the debtor's industry, decrease in the ratio of collateral values to loans and any prior write downs on loans. The above considerations are all used in determining whether the Company should suspend recording interest income on any notes receivable or provide for any loss reserves.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis and are in finished goods form.

Infomercial Production Costs

Infomercial costs include the cost of production in progress for infomercials, which will air in future periods. The costs will be amortized as the programs air over the estimated useful life, currently 12 months. If it is determined that the related product will not meet the criteria to be marketed and aired, then the balance of the infomercial production costs of that program are expensed.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $153,334 and $-0-. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $284,084 (unaudited) and $29,320 (unaudited).


Property and Equipment, and Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is being provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Depreciation of property and equipment and the portion of real estate that is being held for rental is provided by application of the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:



Furniture and fixtures

7 years

Computer, software, office and other equipment

3-5 years

Building and building improvements

39 years

Land improvements

15 years

Tenant improvements

5-6 years

Leasehold improvements

5 years




F-14



MFC Development Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided by the application of the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the related leases.

Real Estate Held for Rental, Development and Sale

Properties are carried at the lower of acquisition cost or market, less the costs to sell. The methods for valuing property and mortgages where current appraisals are unobtainable are based on management's best judgments regarding the economy and market trends. As a result, estimates may change based on ongoing evaluation of future economic and market trends. Such judgments are based on management's knowledge of real estate markets in general and of sale or rental prices of comparable properties in particular.

Goodwill


Goodwill represents acquisition costs in excess of the net assets acquired in connection with the reverse merger on November 29, 2005. The excess of the costs in excess of the assets are related to the benefits WWE derived from MFC being a publicly traded company. In accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” goodwill is no longer amortized; instead goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company periodically evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred indicating the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.


The provisions of SFAS 142 require that a two-step impairment test be performed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The first step of the test for impairment compares the book value of the Company’s reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, which is only required when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, compares the implied fair value of goodwill to its book value to determine if an impairment is required.


Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and will be tested more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired.  An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. When factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company compares the current market value of the MFC stock compared to the negotiated value that was attributable to it in the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005, to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized.


Leases

Leases which transfer substantially all of the risk and benefits of ownership are classified as capital leases, and assets and liabilities are recorded at amounts equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased properties at the beginning of the respective lease terms. Such assets are amortized in the same manner as owned assets are depreciated. Interest expenses relating to the lease liabilities are recorded to effect constant rates of interest over the terms of the leases. Leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and the related rentals are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using a balance sheet approach in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The Company accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory tax rates in effect at the date of the balance sheet to differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established if it is “more likely than not” that the related tax benefits will not be realized. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance, the Company considers projected realization of tax benefits, book and taxable income trends, available tax strategies and the overall deferred tax position.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per common share for each of the two years ended December 31, 2005, and for each of the six months ended June 30, 2006 (unaudited) and 2005 (unaudited) is calculated by dividing net income by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, as if the reverse merger occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. During the year ended December 31, 2005, preferred stock, options and warrants were issued, which are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 5,157,000 shares of common stock. The dilutive effect of these convertible securities and the 3,600,000 Earn-Out Shares are not included in the calculation of loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2005, as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive.

Between January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006 (unaudited), options and warrants were issued, which are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 49,000 shares of common stock. The dilutive effect of these convertible securities and the 3,600,000 Earn-Out Shares are not included in the calculation of loss per share for the six ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, money market mutual funds, commercial paper and trade and notes receivable.

WWE has three major product lines that make up 47%, 28% and 18% of the WWE's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. WWE has two major product lines that make up 62% and 16% of the WWE's net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004.

WWE has three major product lines that make up 31%, 23% and 39% of the WWE's net revenues for the six month ended June 30, 2006 (unaudited). WWE has two major product lines that make up 46% and 38% of the WWE's net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 (unaudited).

Revenue from real estate activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 consists of 71.9% from the sale of one parcel (unaudited).

All note receivables are from the sale of real estate in New York.

Media Costs

Media costs are charged to operations in the period incurred and totaled $3,583,226 and $8,056,870 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Media costs totaled $3,457,142 and $2,111,983 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 (unaudited) and 2005 (unaudited).


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments". The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information

and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a sale.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments approximated their carrying values for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock Based Compensation


As allowed by SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), in accounting for its stock option grants to board members through December 31, 2005. Under APB 25, the Company did not recognize compensation expense upon the issuance of its stock options because the option terms are fixed and the exercise price equals the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date.


In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), "Stock-Based Payment" ("FAS 123(R)"). FAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and amends FAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach in FAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in FAS 123. FAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. FAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to FAS 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005; i.e., fiscal year 2006 for the Company.


Comprehensive Income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity.  At December 31, 2005 and 2004 and June 30, 2006 (unaudited), there were no such adjustments.


Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements


In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151 "Inventory Costs" ("FAS 151"). This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing" and removes the "so abnormal" criterion that under certain circumstances could have led to the capitalization of these items. FAS 151 requires that idle facility expense, excess spoilage, double freight and re-handling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." FAS 151 also requires that allocation of fixed production overhead expenses to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005; i.e., fiscal year 2006 for the Company. The adoption of FAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, "Exchange of Non-monetary Assets", ("FAS 153") an amendment of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29 ("APB 29"), which differed from the International Accounting Standards Board's ("IASB") method of accounting for exchanges of similar productive assets. FAS 153 replaces the exception from fair value measurement in APB 29, with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The statement applied prospectively and is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of FAS 153 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or result of operations.


In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("FAS 154"). This Statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principle were recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. The Company will comply with the provisions of FAS 154, although the impact of such adoption is not determinable at this time.


In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - An Amendment of FASB No. 133 and 140. The purpose of SFAS statement No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of any entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Business Acquisition

The cost of the transaction to WWE was $4,071,263, which was comprised of (1) the issuance of a total of 3,944,611 shares of common stock, which were issued to the stockholders of MFC as of the date of the acquisition, finders and attorneys, and (2) $126,652 of direct costs related to the acquisition. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost to acquire the assets of MFC plus the transaction costs, have been allocated to its underlying net assets in proportion to their respective fair values. For the purposes of recording the acquisition, the Company has applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets.”


The calculation of the purchase is as follows:

Real Estate Developer – On September 23, 2004, Yolo sold 10 acres of land for the hotel site that was in the beginning stages of development. The gross sales price was $1,250,000, which was comprised of a down-payment of $350,000 and a $900,000, non-interest bearing, balloon mortgage note that matured on November 10, 2005. On November 4, 2005, MFC received a principal payment of $350,000 and extended the maturity of the balance to May 10, 2006, with interest accruing at 12% per annum. The MFC used an imputed interest rate of 5% on the note through November 10, 2005. Due to a title issue on a 1.6 acre parcel contiguous to the hotel site, that parcel could not be conveyed at the time of closing. If the Company cannot freely convey the 1.6 acres by June 1, 2006, the mortgage note on the hotel site will be reduced by

$125,000. The Company has taken a valuation allowance on the note receivable for the full amount and has reduced the gross sales price of the hotel site by $125,000 as a reserve against the possible reduction in the mortgage note. A Co-investor in this property from before it was sold, is due $279,250 and has an assignment on the proceeds of this mortgage to settle that obligation.

Clubhouse – On May 17, 2005, Yolo completed the sale of the Clubhouse in Hunter, New York for $320,000 payable by a second mortgage on the real estate, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, commencing on September 1, 2005. The sale was to a limited liability company that is 20% owned by the wife of Lester Tanner, who was then Chairman of the Board and President of the MFC. He is still currently a shareholder and is President of Yolo.

Both mortgages are collateralized by the underlying real estate and mature as follows:

Real Estate Held for Sale


Hunter, New York

Real estate properties were acquired through the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005.

Yolo owned the fee interest in one property located in Hunter, New York.  The property consisted of 65 acres (the “65 Acre Parcel”) in an area known as Hunter Highlands, which is adjacent to the Hunter Mountain Ski Slopes in the Town of Hunter, Greene County, New York.

The 65-acre parcel was subject to a contract for sale, dated November 23, 2005, and closed on March 27, 2006, (the “Land Closing”). The property was sold to Mountaintrail at Hunter, LLC (“Mountaintrail”) for $900,000. Mountaintrail is owned: (1) 51.67% by Yolo at Hunter, LLC (“YoloH”), (2) 35% by Trailside Inroads, LLC (“Trailside”), (3) 13.33% by Lester Tanner and affiliates.

Trailside is 100% owned by Lester Tanner and his related affiliates. Through November 29, 2005, the date of the Closing, Lester Tanner was Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and shareholder of MFC. Lester Tanner was also President of Yolo through April 19, 2006. The selling price of $900,000 was paid to Yolo as follows: (1) $380,000 from Mountaintrail, and (2) a 51.67% membership interest in Mountrail was granted to YoloH, valued at $520,000.

As of December 31, 2005, YoloH was owned 100% by Yolo. In March 2006, Yolo sold 49.84% of its membership interest in YoloH to affiliates of Mr. Tanner for $309,000, leaving Yolo with a balance of 50.16% ownership interest in YoloH, valued at $211,000.

On April 11, 2006, Yolo entered into an agreement with Mr. Tanner, which closed on April 19, 2006, to sell the remaining 50.16% interest in YoloH to him for $211,000. The Company’s basis in the property was $900,000, and therefore, Yolo recorded no gain or loss on the sale.

Mortgage payable, office building: The East Granby Property is owned subject to a non-recourse first mortgage held by TD Banknorth, N.A.  Under the first mortgage, the outstanding principle balance at December 31, 2005 was $2,138,000 and accrues interest thereon at an annual interest rate of 5.53 % through December 31, 2007.  Thereafter, the interest rate changes every five years based upon the Index plus 275 basis points.  The Index is the yield for United States Government Securities Five (5) Year Treasury Constant Maturities as described by the Federal Reserve System in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H-15(519). The principal balance is being amortized in monthly installments of $17,105, including interest; the sum that is due on August 1, 2021, the maturity date, is $0.  If Gateway prepays the mortgage prior to January 1, 2007, then it will have to pay TD Banknorth, N.A. a prepayment penalty of 1% of the prepaid amount.

8. Notes Payable (continued)

Bank loan: In May 2005, Granby obtained a $180,000 bank loan from HSBC, to be used for tenant improvements and brokerage commissions on new leases. The terms of the loan call for monthly payments of $140, which was interest only at the rate of 0.9% through November 2005. Beginning in December 2005, the interest rate increased to 7.2%, and the monthly payment changed to $10,580 per month for principal plus interest, until the loan is fully amortized in May 2007. Repayment of the loan has been guaranteed by Lester Tanner, an officer and director of Granby. Lester Tanner’s daughter also owns a 12% membership interest in Granby.

Tenant improvement loan: Pursuant to the lease with Jack Henry and Associates, Inc. (“Jack Henry”), Granby is obligated to reimburse Jack Henry for a construction allowance of $100,000 for tenant improvements completed in 2005. Granby made a principal payment of $17,353 in May 2006 (unaudited). The remaining balance will be amortized by monthly payments of principal in the amount of $4,682 plus interest through October 15, 2007. If Jack Henry completes additional tenant improvements in 2006, the monthly payments will increase to an amount to be determined if and when the final construction is completed. If the deferred construction payment is not made to Jack Henry within ten days of the due date, Jack Henry may setoff the payment from its next payment of rent.

Series A Bonds: In July 2002, the board of directors of MFC authorized the Company to issue an aggregate of $750,000 of Series A Bonds (“Bonds”) in $25,000 increments to finance the now discontinued medical division.

Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

As reported on Current Reports filed on Forms 8-K dated June 6, 2006 and June 9, 2006, Jeffrey S. Edell resigned his position as President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective June 13, 2006, and was simultaneously appointed non-executive Chairman of the Board.

Upon the termination of Mr. Edell’s Employment Agreement, he and the Company entered into a transition services agreement dated June 9, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement Mr. Edell agreed to surrender to the Company 500,000 shares (“Returned Common Shares”) of MFC common stock that were issued to him in connection with his Employment Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement that closed on November 29, 2005. In addition, Mr. Edell agreed to relinquish any claim with respect to all of his earn-out shares (“Returned Earn-Out Shares”), which he may be entitled to, provided that his new replacement is approved by the Board of Directors. The Earn-Out Shares of up to a maximum of 1,450,000 shares, which may be available to Mr. Edell, are being held in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement dated November 29, 2005. The Returned Common Shares and Returned Earn-Out Shares will be used to assist in facilitating the hiring of a senior executive(s). However, to the extent that either the Returned Common Shares or the Returned Earn-Out Shares have not been issued, cancelled, or reserved, and the Company is subsequently sold, he would receive a pro-rated portion of any sales price that the owner of those shares would ordinarily receive.

On July 15, 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Alan Gerson, subject to the approval of the board of directors. The employment agreement was approved by the board of directors on July 18, 2006, and then appointed Alan Gerson as President and Chief Operating Officer (See Unaudited Subsequent Events Note).


In connection with the Asset Purchase and Consulting Agreement, WWE has entered into a consulting agreement with a former owner of WWE.  Under the consulting agreement, WWE is obligated for a period of 36 months, commencing December 2005, to pay $17,500 per month in consideration of the former owner to provide consulting services. WWE is also obligated to reimburse him for certain travel and related expenses.


FTC Consent Decree


On March 9, 2004, the Federal Trade Commission entered into a voluntary consent order (the “Order”) resulting from an investigation that began in December, 2002. The Order was with among others, Buckhead Marketing and Distribution LLC, PAP Systems LLC and Nancy Duitch individually resulting from the Marketing of the Peel Away the Pounds Weight Loss System.  The Order contains no admission of wrongdoing and no finding of liability and was entered into for settlement purposes only. As part of the consent order, the Company paid $1,000,000 to the FTC in 2004, which was accrued in 2003.  The Order is binding upon the corporate successors and assigns.  The Order also applies in certain instances to any business in which Nancy Duitch is an officer or director, or has a majority ownership interest in, directly or indirectly controls, or any other business in which Nancy Duitch is engaged in activity related to the marketing of any product, service or program that provides health benefits, including weight or inch loss or related benefits, or the marketing of any food, drug or cosmetic where certain claims are made, but only to the extent that such business acts in active concert or participation with Ms. Duitch.  Ms. Duitch is a director, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company, and through the Duitch Family Trust, beneficially owns approximately 29% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  The Order prohibits certain weight loss representations and requires that other specified weight loss, fat loss and similar claims made in future advertising and claims regarding the results of tests or studies be substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence.  This is generally consistent with the standard for substantiating claims currently required by the FTC for all weight loss and dietary supplement products.

In May 2005, in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, Media Commerce Group, LLC d/b/a Brandseed (“Brandseed”) commenced a breach of contract action against WWE, Botopical LLC and Buckhead Marketing & Distribution, LLC.  Brandseed was seeking $650,000 in monetary damages and declaratory relief with respect to its contract with certain of the defendants, as amended, for the provision of advertising and telemarketing services on behalf of defendants.  WWE and the other defendants answered, denying the material allegations of the complaint and asserting two counterclaims.  While the case was in the discovery stage, the parties entered into a settlement agreement.  Under the settlement agreement, WWE agreed to pay Brandseed an aggregate of $450,000 pursuant to the following payment schedule: $190,000 on December 1, 2005; $200,000 on December 21, 2005; $20,000 on February 17, 2006; $20,000 on

Prior to the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005, WWE had elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (S Corporation election).  Under those provisions, WWE did not pay Federal income tax on its taxable income and was subject to a reduced California tax rate of 1.5%.  The stockholders were liable for federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of WWE's net income on their individual income tax returns. Effective as of November 29, 2005, WWE is no longer subject to the provisions of its S Corporation election and is filing a consolidated tax return with MFC.

Abrev, LLC, BATM, LLC, Botopical, LLC, Youth Factor Beauty Care, LLC, Cellucare, LLC, Legacy Formulas, LLC, Buca, LLC, Buckhead Marketing & Distribution, LLC,  PAP Systems, LLC, Ryan, LLC and Tramp-O-Lean, LLC are Limited Liability Companies incorporated in either California or Georgia, for federal and state tax purposes.  An LLC is a pass through entity.  The State of California charges an $800 tax as well as an LLC fee that is based on gross receipts. WWE’s tax liability to California was $10,000 in 2004.  The Companies incurred no material tax liability in 2003.

MFC has allowable net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards for Federal purposes of approximately $5,615,000. These losses are the amount of pre-merger losses allowable to be carried forward by Internal Revenue Code statute. The annual carry-forwards are limited to $280,766 per year. Any unused amount of the annual allowable losses may be carried forward to future periods. The Company incurred additional taxable losses from November 29, 2005 through December 31, 2005 of $493,000. The Company's taxable loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is approximately $2,594,000 (unaudited). These losses will be available for future years, expiring through December 31, 2026. The Company, however, has taken a 51% valuation allowance against Federal NOL carry-forwards due to the uncertainty of generating enough taxable income throughout the carry-forward period to utilize the full amount available.

As of June 30, 2006, the valuation allowance was increased to 66% (unaudited) against Federal NOL carry-forwards due to the uncertainty of generating enough taxable income throughout the carry-forward period to utilize the full amount available.

13. Discontinued Operations

The remaining receivables from the former medical financing business, conducted through various subsidiaries of MFC, were included in the net assets that were acquired in the reverse merger acquisition on November 29, 2005. On February 4, 2004, MFC instituted a plan to restructure the medical financing segment. The plan of restructuring called for MFC to sell the assets of the three subsidiaries that were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. On August 26, 2004, MFC sold its continuing service obligations and the related future revenue rights of its medical financing business in exchange for preferential collection rates on the receivables that are expected to be collected. As part of the terms of the sale, MFC will retain half of the interest paid by insurance companies on late payments from improperly denied receivables. An estimated reserve for future collection costs has been established as of November 29, 2005. The Company will still incur certain employment costs, through part of 2006. Occupancy costs related to MFC’s New Rochelle, New York office are also allocated to discontinued operations. The lease expires in February 2007, and is not expected to be renewed. The medical financing business was conducted through Medical Financial Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, which (i) purchased insurance claims receivables from medical practices and provided certain services to those practices; and (ii) three other subsidiaries, which were formed to provide additional management services to certain medical practices. Accordingly, the operating results of the medical financing segment for the period from November 29, 2005, the date of the reverse merger agreement, through December 31, 2005 have been presented as "(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes". Net assets and liabilities to be disposed of or liquidated, at their net realizable value, have been separately classified in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2005.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income. Interest income from insurance companies is only recorded when cases are won by the Company. No revenue is recorded on unresolved cases, which represent a gain contingency. Interest income from insurance companies is recorded when the amount is determinable, which is the earlier of notification that a case was lost by the insurance companies or when the interest payment is paid if there is no advance notification.

Reimbursed Expenses. The Company is reimbursed by insurance companies for the cost of filing on cases when the insurance companies have lost legal actions. Income from reimbursed expenses from insurance companies is recorded when the amount is determinable.

Finance and Management Fee Receivables

MFC purchased the net collectible value of medical insurance claims on a limited recourse basis. Net collectible value is the amount that the insurance companies will pay based on established fee schedules used by insurance companies. The net collectible value is often less than the face value of the claim due to the difference in billing rates between the established fee schedules and what the medical practice ordinarily would bill for a particular procedure. The Company is only responsible to collect the fee scheduled amount. If any amounts are collected in excess of the purchased amount and the Company's fee, that amount will be applied to the client's outstanding balance.

13. Discontinued Operations (continued)

Receivables acquired in the acquisition of MFC on November 29, 2005, were recorded at their net fair market value, which is their outstanding unpaid principal balances, reduced by any prior charge-off or valuation allowance and net of estimated direct costs of collections. The Company may incur a finance receivable bad debt loss when the portion of a medical claim collected does not exceed the advance (including the fee charged) given to the client.

From the date the Company purchased insurance claims receivable from medical practices and the advance payment was made to the client, the Company had 180 days to collect or determine that the bills were invalid as contractually defined. If the Company collected the advance payment and fee, all additional amounts, if any, that were collected were given to the client. While, by contract, the Company considers these receivables invalid, in reality, for reasons outside of the Company's control, such as the customer being able to provide additional information to overturn a denial, the receivables will get paid and are then not uncollectible. The collections from these written-off receivables may also be used as an offset to other obligations that the Company may have with the client. Recoveries from these written-off receivables are paid to the customer or used as an offset, when necessary, including management fee receivables.

If the assets of the management client, which is also a finance client, are not enough to satisfy the billed fees, an allowance for billing adjustments is recorded to reduce the Company's net receivables to an amount that is equal to the assets of the client that are available for payment.

Management conducts a periodic evaluation of the collectible value of the receivables. The Company considers past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the ability to collect, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions in determining adequacy of the allowance that was established prior to the acquisition of MFC on November 29, 2005.

16 Subsequent Events

Business Acquisition and Financing (unaudited)

On August 7, 2006, MFC filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on August 1, 2006, the Company closed its purchase of certain assets from Adsouth Partners, Inc., pursuant to the purchase agreement described in MFC’s Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2006. MFC, through a newly formed subsidiary, Adsouth Marketing LLC, acquired assets comprising Adsouth's consumer products division and assumed certain liabilities. MFC purchased rights to various consumer products and brands as well as succession to Adsouth’s wholesale and retail distribution channels and relationships.

The purchase price for the assets included a cash and stock component. The cash component was the payment of $1,525,000 at closing; subject to adjustment after closing based on the actual value of certain Adsouth assets. The cash component was paid by delivery of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,525,000 (the “Adsouth Note”).    

MFC was required to pay 50% of the outstanding principal of the Adsouth Note upon receipt of funds from its lender and therefore paid $381,250 of the principal on the Adsouth Note on August 2, 2006 and expects, on the closing of the second half of its financing, to pay $381,250 of principal to meet this obligation. At the time of the second payment of $381,250, the $762,500 balance due will be amortized over a twenty-four month period, with interest and $22,875 in principal payable monthly. Twelve months from such date, an additional $213,500 of principal shall be due. After six months, the Adsouth Note may be converted into shares of MFC’s common stock, pursuant to the following terms of the Adsouth Note.

MFC Development Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



16. Subsequent Events (continued)

1.

The holder of the Adsouth Note has the right to convert the note to common stock of MFC, only if the Company does not pay 50% of the original principal amount of the Adsouth Note, together with accrued interest, before January 20, 2007, or unless an Event of Default shall occur.

2.

At any such time as MFC has made 50% payment of the original principal amount of the Adsouth Note, the Company shall have the right to force conversion of the Adsouth Note into common stock of MFC by issuing to the holder of  such number of shares of common stock determined by dividing one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the total amount of principal and interest being converted pursuant by the $.80 per share; provided, however, that the Company shall only exercise this right if, at such the time of such exercise, the shares of Common Stock to be so issued shall be subject to a current and effective registration statement or all of such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, or any subsequent similar rule.

The stock component of the purchase price was paid by issuance of 5.5 million shares of MFC’s common stock (the “Adsouth Shares”), 750,000 shares of which are being held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of Adsouth. The Company has an option to re-purchase the Adsouth Shares at an exercise price of $1.00 for the period from August 1, 2006 through the close of business on July 19, 2007 and $1.15 for the period from July 20, 2007 through July 19, 2008, as long as Adsouth Partners, Inc. still owns Adsouth Shares. MFC has granted Adsouth “piggy-back” registration rights and one “demand” registration in the event the Adsouth Shares are not included in a registration filed within ninety days of issuance of the Adsouth Shares. The Company expects to register the Adsouth Shares, along with other shares, in a registration filing on Form SB-2 pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by MFC in connection with the convertible note financing.

The financial statements and pro-forma financial information, which are required to be filed in connection with this acquisition will be filed on Form 8-K/A not later than October 16, 2006.

Convertible Debt Financing and Warrants (unaudited)

On August 7, 2006, MFC filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on August 2, 2006, the Company closed a financing transaction in which it sold 10% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to Gottbetter Capital

Partners, LLC (“Gottbetter”) to raise $5,775,400 pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated thereof (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Company received $2,887,700 upon closing, and will receive another $2,887,700 on the date the registration statement is filed pursuant to Investors Registration Rights Agreement dated thereof between the Company and Gottbetter (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), provided that the Company’s Board of Directors shall have consented, subject to shareholder approval, to increase it’s authorized shares of Common Stock to at least one hundred million (100,000,000). The initial Note matures on July 31, 2009. The Notes require monthly interest-only payments for the first eight months and equal monthly payments of principal and interest thereafter through the balance of the 36 month term of the Notes. The Notes are convertible from time to time at the option of Gottbetter into the common stock of the Company at the price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP, for the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date but in no event lower than a floor price of $0.69 (the “Conversion Price”). Gottbetter may not convert the Notes or exercise the Warrant (as defined below) if such conversion or exercise would result in Gottbetter, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has an option to redeem a portion or all of the outstanding principle convertible Notes with the redemption price being the greater of (i) one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the face amount redeemed plus accrued interest and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the (x) product of the remaining conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price (not less than a $1.00) in effect on the trading day before the Company’s redemption notice is sent and (y) the closing sale price on the trading day before the Company redemption notice is sent.

The Company and its subsidiaries granted Gottbetter a security interest in certain of its assets pursuant to a Security Agreement dated July 31, 2006 between the Company, its subsidiaries and Gottbetter (the “Security Agreement”). The Company shall pay a commitment fee equal to 6.5% of the total purchase price of the Notes of which $187,700 was paid on

The securities issued in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and until so registered the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration. The offering requires the Company to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933 all of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Notes pursuant to an the Registration Rights Agreement.

The terms of the Second Mortgage Note are as follows:

Principal: $1,100,000
Maturity: August 1, 2009
Rate: 12.5%
Monthly payment: $11,458 (interest only), balloon payment of $1,111,458 at maturity

The Second Mortgage Note will become due at the option of the lender, if Gateway shall, without prior written consent: (i) further encumber the mortgaged property with any lien imposed in connection with any other financing or (ii) issue new membership interests to members who do not currently own a controlling interest, but such transfer may be permitted between the Registrant and the other existing members of Gateway.

Approximately $120,000 of fees were paid in connection with the Second Mortgage Note.

Gateway made a distribution from the proceeds of the Note to: (i) MFC in the amount of approximately $490,000 and (ii) the other members of Gateway for $550,000.

The Company guaranteed repayment of the Note and has also pledged its membership interest in Gateway to the other members as a guaranty for $550,000 of the Second Mortgage Note and for any other obligation that MFC may have to the other Gateway members. MFC bears 100% of the costs of the Note and 60% of the interest costs with the other Gateway members bearing the remaining 40% of the interest costs.

The Promissory Note issued in connection with the Second Mortgage Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and until so registered promissory note may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration.
